What differentiates Ashoka University\u2019s 4th House of Representatives (HoR) from all the previous ones the most is perhaps the fact that it has an actual budget of Rs. 75,000 to work with and bring about substantial change on campus. A meeting was convened on 26th March 2018 where the Cabinet finalized its Budget Proposal<\/a> for 6 months, from March to August 2018, inclusive.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This article is a graphical summary of the various amounts allocated to the ministries. These graphs are made from the numbers given in the Budget Proposal document that was sent to you today.<\/p>\n
