The present research aimed to investigate whether or not a non-salary budget (NSB) may improve the overall productivity of pupils studying at the elementary level. The objectives of the study were to examine the role of a non-salary budget in enhancing the productivity of students, to identify the role of school management committees regarding non-salary budgets, to explore transparency for the Utilization of NSB and to compare the opinions of male and female respondents for the effectiveness of NSB for maximizing the productivity of students. The survey approach was utilized because of the descriptive nature of the investigation. This study's population was drawn from the boys' and girls' public elementary schools in the Bahawalpur district Punjab, Pakistan, which included both rural and urban settings. A multistage selection approach was used to choose a sample of 400 individuals from 20 schools. A questionnaire that the individual produced was given to principals and instructors. A statistical approach was used to examine the data, which involved computing things like frequency and percentage and calculating mean scores, standard deviation, and t-tests. According to the findings, low-income students are eligible for free uniforms, as well as free bags and stationery, as well as free shoes from NSB. NSB is responsible for doing any
maintenance for students. The NSB grant was spent honestly with the assistance of SMC to better the students' welfare. Cash books and bills are checked/verified by school council members. Headteachers give priority to the opinions of the members of SMC. MEA visits and checks properly the transparency of doing work, records, and NSB funds. There was a significant difference in the mean score of respondents about the role of NSB; the mean score indicates that NSB was utilized more positively in female schools compared to male schools to enhance the productivity of students at the elementary level. It was suggested that school council committee members and school heads participate in frequent training to enhance the overall performance of schools and the performance of school council committee members and school heads specifically.
