Abstract: Investment in education is essential since it promptly impacts the quality, accessibility, and equality of learning opportunities, consequently propelling social and economic advancement. The evaluation revealed that the Post- RTE execution prompted a systematic reallocation of planned educational expenditures across states, highlighting a data-driven policy transformation but during the Pre- RTE period many states has only focus to spend more on elementary education rather than university and higher education. At the elementary level, most states experienced a resource compression, indicating a strategic pivot driven by saturation or optimization algorithms. In contrast, secondary or higher secondary education saw budget amplification, aligning with scalability models targeting learning continuity. Meanwhile, university/higher education allocations showed heterogeneous distribution, reflecting decentralized planning frameworks and state-specific fiscal algorithms. This temporal fiscal shift signifies an adaptive governance model utilizing predictive analytics to re-channel resources, enhancing educational throughput at higher levels, and embodying a digitally informed investment strategy for long-term human capital development.
