What may be surmised: unequal growth, unequal opportunities, rural urban divide, rural to urban migration, slums. It is not a coincidence that these are the states with the metropolis.
Growth needs to be more equal, rather made to be more equal; to tackle the migration problem and increase urbanization [more in next posts.]
Integration of the rural into mainstream economy is essential! If the rest of India grows at 8%, from the current ~6%, it could add a whole percentage point to the national output.
Data not available for all states FY07 onwards.
Rightly pointed out ... Besides the infrastructure in the metros is crumbling under pressure due to excessive intake of migrants. Industries need to be developed in satellite towns and the connectivity to main cities needs to increase. If we can't control our population, the least we can do is make sure that it spreads out a bit :)
