if you have a closer look at the chart (http://unidow.com/india home eng/statewise_gdp.html) there you would see an average haryanvi earns 21% more than an average gujju. in fiscal 2009 haryana's yoy growth was 18.39%, compare that to gujarat's 11.22%, and for fiscal 2010 haryana grew by 14.4% compared to gujarat at 12.72%.


Gujarat's industry break up :
agriculture, forestry and fishing – 19.05%, industry – 34.92%, services – 46.04%

Haryana's industry break up :
agriculture, forestry and fishing –22.58%, industry –16.82%, services 60.60–%

http://unidow.com/statewise_gdp/default.html

the above shows haryana is not a predominantly an agriculture state but a services state. incidently india's fastest growing sector is services and not the industries. IIP for the month of november hit a wall at 2.7%.
In Haryana, services are concentrated in one city. Though attention is being paid to industries too.

In Gujarat, there comparatively better industrial base and is expanding.

If Andhrabgets its act right we might be back on track and give modi a run for his money.Let this T issue get fixed as fast as possible
Quite agree, Before the Telangana agitations AP had the highest growth rate of major state economies including Gujarat at 15.6% and total nominal GDP higher as well in FY09.
The Telangana agitations in FY10 has reduced the growth rate to a shocking 9.5% only. Although still not bad, its way way below its potential.

Sir,

in that case the two things are completely different, one concentrated the other spread out and IT is not just concentrated to gurgaon alone in haryana, they have it in B towns (punchkula/faridabad - though not as concentrated as it is in ggn) and also have it moving to C towns and as i said in one of the posts above services is not just about IT but in india's case major part consists of retail and people who have the most disposable incomes would play a significant part in that sectors growth and that state's economic growth, which is where haryana is sitting pretty but that does not mean they are not diversifying to manufacturing though they have a lot of catching up to do and no doubt on that front gujarat is at a different league.

the difference between a concentrated and spread out economy doesnt necessarily have an impact on the over all economic growth of a state though what it impacts is the number of people impacted as a result or better termed as the trickle down effect or a wholesome growth and that is also the difference between a services and manufacturing economy good examples of which are india and china.

Haryana's biggest advantage is it's proximity to Delhi not to mention a hardworking population- something which has benefitted NOIDA and Gaziabad as well. Cities such as Faridabad and Gurgaon have metamorphed into economic centres, while Panipat is a well known textile hub. Centres such as Sonepat, Ballabgarh, Palwal and Rohtak will continue to develop as economic progress trickles beyond NCR. It will be incorrect to say that Haryanvi economic progress is restricted to services sector in Gurgaon.

However, I must add it's a great feeling if any part of India prospers by leaps and bounds. Rather than get into the contest of my state's better than yours how about we revel in India progressing as a whole.

No, inter-state economic competition is healthy. It makes sure politicians win elections on development agendas rather than trivial ones.

Gujarati enterprise is well known. But they have been investing outside Gujarat so far. Now Modi is inducing them to invest in Gujarat.

High income, yet high hunger levels in Gujarat

In a study done by Abusaleh Shariff, chief economist at the National Council for Applied Economic Research (NCAER), Gujarat surprisingly emerges as a State with high levels of hunger, while simultaneously boasting high per capita income and consistent income stability.

The hunger levels in Gujarat are higher than in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, and surprisingly even higher than in Uttar Pradesh, according to the study, which is based on statistics compiled from a variety of sources: 61st round of the National Sample Survey; the Human Development Survey of the NCAER, deprivation data presented by the Sachar committee and the annual reports of the Reserve Bank of India.

Evenly spread incomes


The paradox is explained by the fact that U.P. has vast areas under cultivation which ensures that its population is poor, but at least minimally fed. Incomes are more evenly spread in U.P., Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. U.P. is in fact a notch above Tamil Nadu in hunger, while West Bengal is below Tamil Nadu but above Gujarat. In Gujarat, the rich-poor disparities are far greater.

Mr. Shariff, who was member-secretary of the Rajinder Sachar committee which probed the socio-economic status of Muslims, presented his findings on Saturday to the Institute of Objective Studies here.

Well-off State


The study establishes Gujarat as a consistently well-off State, figuring among the top six States for per capita State Domestic Product. The State moved up from the sixth position in 1970-71 to the fourth position in 2007-2008, its annual per capita GDP (income) at current prices being Rs. 45, 773. Haryana with an annual per capita income of Rs. 59,008 tops the list followed by Punjab, Maharashtra and Kerala. Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh are in the vicinity of these States.
However, Kerala and Tamil Nadu are far ahead of Gujarat in Human Development Index. Kerala tops the list followed by Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Haryana and Gujarat. Orissa which reveals high levels of poverty performs better on the HDI. Punjab, Kerala and Haryana are again very progressive measured by levels of hunger. These three are the least hungry states.

Assam is at the top of the States reporting moderate hunger, followed by Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. The high hunger States are Orissa, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Bihar. The highest hunger levels are reported by Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh.

Gujarat is also almost at the bottom in Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, while Rajasthan is at the top, followed by Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Tamil Nadu. Gujarat also has higher unemployment rates for Muslims compared to Maharashtra and West Bengal. In most States, Muslims form a higher percentage of the workforce in manufacturing and the organised sector compared to Hindus. In Gujarat, the reverse is true.

Gujarat also shows a wider gap between self-employed Muslims and Hindus. Fifty-four per cent of Muslims as opposed to 39 per cent of Hindus are self-employed in the State. The gap is much lower in West Bengal, where 53 per cent of Muslims are self-employed as against 45 per cent of Hindus. Compared to other States and to Hindus, more Muslims in Gujarat are self-employed or in petty trade. This disparity is compounded by the fact that compared to other sectors, self-employment shows only a marginal increase in share of income in Gujarat.

i was just checking the inward fdi data the RBI releases each month and when checking on gujarat, was completely perplexed on where have all the commitments of 100s of billions disappeared?

data suggests in 2009-10 the fdi in the state was rs3,876crs (807m usd), in 2010-11 rs3,294crs (724m usd), this fiscal so far it has been rs559crs (130m usd) and the cummulative figure from 2000 onwards till date is rs32,252crs (7,282m usd).

what is happening here?

andhra pradesh during the same period of 2009-12 has done almost double that of gujarat, though they stand ranked lower since their cumulative for 2000-12 is lower, which means if 2009-12 data was to be taken they are not even in top 5 states.

If only prohibition was not imposed in Gujarat - it would have been worth moving to:love:
So no Liquor in Gujarat? Now wonder there is communal strife there, to much religious attachments.

Further more Tamil Nadu and Andhra are ahead of Gujart but we dont get any kudos for that do we?? Most of the car companies are based in Tamil Nadu and South India, Gujarat is only one North Indian state that is doing well compared to almost all South Indians states which are doing better now. South India is the back bone of India, without South India, India would be Sub Sharan Africa completely.

Apparently our 1st world North Indians who like European climate dont like Chennai because it to Hot. Garam Lakthay yaaarrrr, JJaa theraa Bihar ko..Vahan Road may AC hey.. LMAO.

Perhaps you forgot that Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Chandigarh and Maharastra don't qualify as "South Indian" states. These states are doing fairly well. There are several fundamental reasons behind backwardness of states like Bihar, MP and Orissa, its not that people there are less competent than people in rest of India.

Also, climate does make an impact, it takes a toll on your body when you move from Sub-tropical/Temperate/Dry to Tropical-wet climate. It takes a lot of adjustment, including in daily routine and food-habits. Those habituated to cold/pleasant climate for six(October-to-March) months in a year will not take Chennai's climate very well immediately, it takes time but people do get adjusted eventually.

Right now(3:35 PM):
Temperature in Delhi 29 degrees
Temperature in Chennai 36 degrees
Where would you like to be?

Where does North India start and South India finish ? :D

Is Gujarat and Maharashtra North India or South India? Aren't Punjab and Haryana part of North India ?

So North India is the Indo-Gangetic plains, or is that East India ;) ?

That one is wrong, only Maharastra and Up are above the South and thats because Maharashtras economy has Mumbai and UP has huge population.

Both TN and Andhra are above Gujarat. When was the last time these sates ever got emulated?
