Spatial dimension of the acceleration of economic growth in India
Abstract
This study of 20 state economies of India over the period 1960-61 to 1989-90 reveals that the phenomenon of
acceleration in economic growth is spatially dispersed and covers about two-thirds of the national economy. The study
also finds that most of the states experiencing growth acceleration are relatively less well off . There are marked
tendencies for convergence of long-term economic growth rate among Indian states. The growth experience and
development strategies differ significantly among states. The leading states also show different patterns of growth.
In the Indian industrial sector, the existence of a sharp north-south divide is further corroborated.
