What's the best way to travel India for a month on a budget?

Here is how you travel on a very low budget.
Use the local buses & trains
Stay in $3 a night hostels
Eat street food
View monuments from the outside to avoid entry fees
Seriously, we need to know what kind of budget you are talking about to give any meaningful ideas.
What are you interested in doing? Nature hikes, museums, forts, shopping, eating fine food?
What regions or cities are you hoping to visit?
What is your travel comfort level? Can you tolerate dirty rooms or do you want to stay in boutique hotels with a pool?
Etc.

Don’t go to India if your budget requires that you eat street food and stay in $3.00 hostels. While India can be done relatively cheaply, you do not want to risk your health. On the other hand, you can travel cheaply by using trains and public transportation. More info please!

While I would not eat street food in India, the only time I got sick on my last (six week) visit to India was in the most expensive hotel. Avoid buffets.
The cheapest way to visit India is probably to go stay in an ashram. Or find a hippy hangout in Goa, I imagine they still exist.
On a more practical note, buy or borrow guidebooks by Lonely Planet, Rough Guide and Footprints. You can travel in India quite cheaply without sacrificing safety, although you may sacrifice comfort.

I remember having the best fish & chips I've ever had in a big hotel in Panjim [Goa]. Went back a couple of days later for more of the same.....and ended up violently ill for 24 hours.
Off to Turkey this afternoon for 2 weeks.....won't have any problem with any food there.
