Abstract
Every year, on the first of February, the Finance Minister of India presents an account of the proposed expenditure and expected revenue of the government to the entire country. Several articles on the Union Budget, as it is called, are then published in the newspapers primarily by economists and business journalists. However, we strongly believe that more of us ought to engage with this exercise by the government, and especially those of us who are teachers. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is an outcome of social processes and therefore its allocation to various sectors is a matter of social accounting, as it were.
