    Areas of Growth Potential


    Basic needs Infrastructure Resource Understanding with the rest of the country. Governance

    Development Indicators
    Road length, access to healthcare, and power consumption in the region are below the national average Generates less than 8 per cent of its 63,257 MW of hydroelectric pwer generation potential Per capita power consumption of power at 110 Kwh. is almost a fourth of the national average (411 Kwh.) Process of Development Top-down development planning strategy has not involved people in designing and implementing the strategy Relationship between public spending and service delivery outcomes has been tenuous. Lack of peoples involvement has robbed the system of a sense of belonging and led to inefficient and wasteful resource allocation Lack of social accountability Weak and unresponsive institutions of governance and market

    Economic Factors
    The standard of living of the people in the region, as measured by per capita Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), has lagged significantly behind the rest of the country. At Rs. 18,027 in 2004-05, GSDP was less than the all-State average of Rs. 25,968 by 31 per cent
