Jharkhand economy growing, but agriculture declines: Report
March 7th, 2011 - 9:08 pm ICT by IANSRanchi, March 7 (IANS) Jharkhand’s per capita gross state domestic product (GSDP), that is the total value of goods and services produced in the state divided by its population, increased by 40.82 percent in the last ten years, according to the state’s economic survey presented Monday.
The per capita GSDP in the state in 2000-01 was Rs.16,084 (at 2004-05 prices), which increased to Rs.27,180 in 2010-2011.
The survey, presented in the state assembly, says the performance of the primary sector declined in the last decade, though the secondary and tertiary sectors performed well in relative terms.
In the primary sector, agriculture growth remained stagnant in the last ten years, mainly due to inadequate irrigation.
Jharkhand irrigated only 12 percent of its cultivable land, the report says.
The primary sector, which also includes animal husbandry, forestry and fishing, declined to 23.30 percent of GSDP from 30 percent in the last ten years.
