This study investigates the impact of social sector expenditure on health outcomes in Chhattisgarh, India. Using secondary data sources, including government reports and statistical databases, the research examines the intricate relationship between social sector spending and the health status of the population. The analysis identifies trends and correlations between social sector investments and key health indicators such as infant mortality rate (IMR), maternal mortality rate (MMR), life expectancy, and disease prevalence. Preliminary findings suggest a positive correlation between increased social sector funding and improved health outcomes, albeit with varying degrees of influence across different health parameters. Moreover, distinctive spending patterns emerge in sub-sectors like education, sanitation, and public health, each contributing uniquely to overall health improvement. These insights highlight the critical role of strategic social sector investment in fostering holistic health development in Chhattisgarh. Policy recommendations are provided to optimize resource allocation, maximize health benefits, and reduce disparities within the region.
