Since the independence of India, several changes have been made for financing education. It has been seen that the least importance is given to elementary education. This results in low literacy rates, high dropout rates, and even deprivation from elementary education. This study is an effort to evaluate the impact of public expenditure on education and its outcomes. The Fixed Effect panel regression model is taken for the analysis. The estimated results of the regression model revealed that public expenditure on education has long run positive sustainable impact on dropout rates. But there is no short-run significant impact of government educational expenditure on dropout rates, whereas per capita income has a significant impact on dropout rates. Further, the study analyses the determining factor for the outcome indicator. The results have shown huge variations in the impact of public expenditure on education among the states.
