Barring smaller
states/UTs, the highest per capita Income (per capita net domestic product) is
for the State of Haryana (Rs. 108,859) and is followed by Maharashtra (Rs.
101,314), Tamil Nadu ( Rs.84,496) and Kerala (Rs. 83,725) in the year
2011-12. Goa’s per capita income is more
than that of Delhi’s by Rs. 16,840 and Chandigarh is also left behind by Rs
52,579. Pondicherry faired better than
Tamil Nadu by Rs 11,263. Uttarakhand once
was a part of Uttar Pradesh before 2000 and had per capita income of Rs. 82,193
in 2011-12 and is much more than that of present Uttar Pradesh (Rs.
30,052). The same is the case of Haryana
(Rs. 108,859) is far exceeding that of present Punjab’s per capita income of
Rs. 74,606. Bihar’s per capita income in
2011-12 is just Rs 23,435 and is minimum most, whereas its baby state Jharkhand
(split in the year 2000) had the per capita income as Rs. 35,652. Same is in the case of Chattishgarh with Rs 46,573 as per capita income, its
parent state Madhya Pradesh was having only Rs. 38,669.
The
message one gets is that one may develop faster economically if the states are
smaller in size as compact administrative boundaries are more manageable and
people can be more prosperous.
