India - Participation in Education, July 1995 - July 1996, NSS 52nd Round

Total expenditure for current academic year (Rs.) for stationary

The amount of expenditure on books, stationery and other appliances, instruments and uniform will have to be estimated on the basis of expected requirements of these articles during the current academic year. Books are usually purchased at the beginning of the session. Bulk of other stationary articles are also purchased at the early part of the session. With a little bit of probing such as how much was purchased at the beginning of the session, how much was purchased subsequently and how much more would be required for the remaining part of the session, total expenditure can be obtained fairly accurately.
