1.8.1 Component wise Receipts and Expenditure

 The receipts  of the University was Rs. 63.65 crores during 1998-99 which increased to Rs. 78.15 crores during 2001-02.  The non-plan receipt indicated steady increase during this period.  It increased from Rs. 39 crores to Rs. 49 crores.  The receipt from ICAR hovered around Rs. 10 crores in most of the years except 1998-99 and 2000-01.  In 2000-01, higher share of ICAR was reported since ICAR released Rs. 11.21 crores as arrears for  UGC pay scales.  However the projected decline in receipt from ICAR during 2003-04 is not a healthy sign. (8.86% of total receipt).  The share of non-plan in total share was 61.16 per cent during 1998-99 which declined in the next two consecutive years and then increased to Rs. 62.93 crores during 2001-02.   The projected share of non-plan during 2003-04 is Rs. 65.87 crores.

The expenditure of the University in 1998-99 was Rs.50.34 crores which increased to Rs.87.58  crores in 2000-01 (74 per cent increase.).It declined  by 21% in 2001-02 and RE for 2002-03 was Rs.83.23  crores. The plan expenditure increased from Rs.8.15 crores in 1998-99 to Rs.14.43 crores in 2001-02 and the RE for 2002-03 was Rs.21.30  crores. The share  of expenditure from external sources increased consistently from Rs.6.98 crores in 1998-99 to Rs.11.21 crores in 2001-02. However the  projected expenditure as per  RE for 2002-03 from external sources is Rs.14.44  crores which is  28 per cent  higher than the  expenditure incurred in 2001-02.  The BE for 2003-04  from external sources is projected at a lower level ( 8.5 crore).  This is a disturbing trend and the University may try to get more funding from external sources in future.

.           During 2000-01  the non-plan share of expenditure was Rs. 60.75 crores, Plan share 13.84 crores and ICAR share Rs. 10.48 crores.  This shows that the non-plan expenditure incurred was Rs. 18.21  crores (ie. 40%) in excess of receipt.

            In 2000-01 total  expenditure  exceeded receipts by an amount of Rs.3.27  crores. KAU might have used funds from external aided projects and funds from GPF for bridging the gap. KAU has reported diversion of funds from external aided projects to the tune of Rs. 3.00 crore and GPF liability as 28.00 crores. The new institutions started by the KAU especially the Veterinary college and Dairy science college also acted as additional burden for the University. When compared to 1998-99, there was a jump in expenditure in 1999-00 and 2000-01.  RE for 2002-03 and BE for 2003-04 are also   on the high side.

The expenditure share for various components is shown in table 14.    It was broadly divided into five categories, administration, research, extension, education and miscellaneous. The share of education is the maximum , accounting  for 44 per cent in 2001-02 followed by research (37  per cent).   The share for education is projected at 52  per cent in 2002-03  as per RE while share for research is projected to decline to 35 per cent.   Projections during 2003-04 (BE) shows a drastic reduction in expected expenditure on research to 26.05%  from the actuals of 37% in 2001-02.  Meanwhile expenditure on education is showing an increasing trend for the period 1998-99 to 2000-01 from 44% to 48% and during 2001-02 it declined to 44%.  But projected figures for 2002-03 (RE) & 2003-04 (BE) are 52% and 53% respectively revealing an exaggerated   estimation on the part of KAU regarding expenditure  on education.   Compared to 2001-02 actuals  a 42% hike  in expenditure on education  is expected by KAU during 2002-03 (RE) and 84% hike during 2003-04 (BE).  The reasons for this may be looked into seriously especially new institutions started during 9^th Plan are distorting the financial balance of the University. The share of expected   receipts from external agencies  also is projected to decline in 2003-04  which  may  reflect in  fund allocation  especially for research.
