Abstract

The data on inter-State variations in growth and poverty is analyzed to see what can be learned about economic growth and social welfare, with a view to improving planning and policy formulation. An extensive analysis of aggregate growth from 1951-2 to 2004-5 is presented. Because large sample NSS data is available for 1993-4, 1999-2000 and 2004-5 and the SGDP series in 1993-4 prices are available from 1993-4 to 2004-5, focus is given on this period. [Working Paper No. 2/2007-PC].
