Information on State Development Report

The Planning Commission has initiated, in coordination with the States concerned, the preparation of State Development Reports (SDR) for a number of States. Each Report is being prepared under the supervision of a Core Committee, headed by a Member of the Planning Commission, and including a senior representative of the State Government. The reports are in various stages of progress. SDR`s for Assam ,Punjab and Orissa have been released . Most of these reports will be finalised within the first two years of the Tenth Plan.

The objective in bringing out these reports is to provide a quality reference document on the development profile and set out strategies for accelerating the growth rate of major States. They are aimed to be credible independent documents prepared with the assistance of reputed expert national-level agencies. They are, however, not intended to be mere documents. Behind the preparation of these reports is the recognition of the reality that, over many decades of developmental planning, wide differences in the growth performance across States have emerged. Continuation of low growth rates into the future for a group of States representing almost a third of the total population, while the rest of the country enjoys robust growth, means that inter-state inequality would continue to increase and poverty would become even more regionally concentrated than it is today. These reports thus respond to the concern of regional disparities. The SDRs are expected to set out the medium-term strategies that need to be adopted to bring about the accelerated levels of growth needed to lessen disparities and reduce poverty.

The reports are expected to provide a useful reference. A typical SDR would set out the profile of the State, make an assessment of the resources and provide growth perspectives for major sectors over the next Plan period and thereafter. It would bring out the regional dimensions of growth in the State, which would seek to impart value for development practitioners interested in the State. Ultimately, these reports would highlight the critical resource gaps in the realisation of sectoral perspectives and articulate the desired policy directions, which in turn would set out a road map for accelerated growth and intensified poverty reduction for the State in the future.

State wise details on composition of the Core Committee, Partner Agency and Contact Persons for SDR`s are given below .
