abstract: 'The case of Gujarat is often highlighted in the literature for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
glaring mismatch between growth and human development (HD) outcomes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This paper makes a critical assessment of the growth and development
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
scenario and their linkages with human development outcomes with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
particular focus on the important HD factors across the districts. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
objectives of the paper are to: (i) analyse the broad trends in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
major economic sectors, viz. agriculture, industries and employment and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
delineate the differences in the growth scenario across districts and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(ii) examine the `inclusive growth outcomes'' across districts in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
state based on the district-level HD indices and delineate the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differences in the major HD factors. The broad trends in the growth of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the major economic sectors reveal some disquieting aspects of growth of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the state, characterised by stark differences in literacy and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
educational attainments across gender and districts, the decline in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
farming population coincided with marginalisation of farm holdings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
amidst growth of commercial agriculture, declining rural work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation, especially women work participation, and concentration of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
industrial growth confining to few districts. The analysis of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
district-level HDIs brings out disparate trends of the status of HDI,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reflecting stark differences in the status of development of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
critical components, viz. standard of living, availability of health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
infrastructure and educational attainments. Based on the analysis, we
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
argue that Gujarat needs to strengthen and reorient its development
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
priorities by accelerating public spending more on critical areas of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
public health infrastructure, provision of better healthcare services,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nutritional security, education and skill development, women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
empowerment, etc., which are critical aspects of human development and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inclusive growth.'
