GDP of India do not cover illegal
activities like those of beggars, sex workers, thieves, black marketers, corrupt means practitioners and so on. Census 2011 has
tried to capture number of beggars, sex workers and eunuchs separately. May be Central Statistical Office may like to
incorporate the contribution of these illegal activities in our GDP. This is also the requirement of International
System of National Accounts. When they
would be increasing our GDP and thus rightly estimating per capita income by
taking the above into their accounts is a question at present.
