The Planning Commission has decided to prepare State Development Reports (SDRs)
for all States and Union Territories of India. The objective in bringing
out these reports is to provide a credible independent quality reference
document on the development profile, set out strategies for accelerating
the growth rate of States, lessen disparities and reduce poverty. The SDR
is meant to discuss the constraints and challenges faced by a State and
provide a vision, blueprint or a roadmap for its socioeconomic progress.
Each SDR is being prepared with the assistance of reputed national-level agencies, under the supervision of a core committee, headed by a Member of the Planning Commission, and including a senior representative of the State Government. The publication of the Maharashtra Development Report follows the recently published SDRs of Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Himachal Pradesh, while SDRs of many other States and Union Territories of India are under various stages of preparation. The Lakshadweep Development Report highlights issues related to the development of small islands and the road ahead for the progress of the Union Territory. Lakshadweep's potential in tourism, coconut development and its transformation in social sectors are well documented in the report. Infrastructure, human development, biodiversity and environment protection, governance and economic issues of Lakshadweep are adequately addressed in the report. The report is expected to serve as a useful reference material and stimulate informed debate on the policy issues facing the Union Territory. |
