This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the distribution of educational institutions in

Focusing on Karnataka and the Karnataka-Uttara Karnataka region, the study examines the
relative percentage of various educational institutions. It further explores district-wise trends
in public expenditure, identifying significant disparities. The findings highlight the
concentration of institutions in certain regions and the variability in public spending, with
implications for regional development. Recommendations for policy intervention are made to
improve equity in educational opportunities and resource allocation.
