    Figures printed in thousands of rupees. Converted to crore by dividing by 10,000. Hero running costs are this AFS 2055 line. 4055 is taken from Capital Demand 12 (DGP), not the AFS 4055 total, because Demand 36 Jails also prints 4055 for prisons. Health also read: 2210, 2211 (p. 16) and 4210 (p. 24).
