## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATISTICS AND PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION (SHRI D. V. SADANANDA GOWDA)

- (a): The  estimates  of  national  income  (measured  as  net  national income)  and  per  capita  income  (measured  as  per  capita  net national income) of the country during the last three years are as under:

| Item (at current prices)             |   2014-15 |   2015-16 |   2016-17 |
|--------------------------------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
| Net National Income (Rs. crore)      |  10953761 |  12076882 |  13408211 |
| Per Capita Net National Income (Rs.) |     86454 |     94130 |    103219 |

Annual estimates of net state domestic product (NSDP) and per capita income (measured as per capita NSDP) are compiled by all the States/UTs except UTs  of Daman & Diu, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Lakshadweep. As per latest reports, data for the 33 States/UTs is available till the year 2014-15. The information is given in the statement at Annexure-I.

The Government has been implementing several programmes for skill development, self-employment, wage employment and creation  of  assets  that  aim  to  promote  inclusive  growth  and thereby  bridge  the  income  gaps.    These  include  Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihood Mission (DAY-NULM) of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MHUPA) and  various  rural  development  schemes  of  the  Department  of Rural Development (DRD), namely,   Mahatma  Gandhi  National Rural    Employment    Guarantee    Scheme    (MGNREGS),  Pradhan Mantri  Awaas  Yojana Gramin  (PMAYG),  Pradhan  Mantri  Gram Sadak    Yojana  (PMGSY),  Deendayal  Antyodaya  Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAYNRLM) and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya-Grameen  Kaushalya  Yojana  (DDU-GKY).

- (b): Yes, Madam. The State/UT-wise details of per capita income for the  year  1989-90  (before  1991  economic  reforms)  and  for  the year  1992-93  (after  1991  economic  reforms)  are  given  in  the statement  at  Annexure-II.  State/UT-wise  per  capita  income  for the year 2014-15 (latest available)  is included in the statement given at Annexure-I.
- (c): Yes, Madam. Level of inequality is  assessed in terms of Lorenz ratios of monthly  per  capita expenditure distribution using consumer expenditure data of the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO). The NSSO 68 th  round report for the year 2011-12 noted that there was an increase in inequality (in terms of Lorenz ratio) from 0.297 to 0.307 for the rural sector and from 0.373 to 0.385 for the urban sector, when compared to the data of 61 st  round for the year 2004-05. Reasons for increase were not surveyed.
- (d): Comparison of inequality in terms of Lorenz ratios at State level based on NSSO 68 th  round (2011-12) data and 66 th  round (2009-10) data  indicates  that  inequality  in  rural  sector  increased  in  all States/ UTs except for Sikkim, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh,  Uttarakhand,  Chhattisgarh,  Haryana,  Madhya  Pradesh and  Punjab.  During  this period,  in  respect of  the  urban  sector, inequality  increased in Manipur, Mizoram, Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan,  Tamil  Nadu,  Delhi,  Odisha,  Chhattisgarh,  Arunachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Karnataka, Haryana and Kerala.
