MINISTER  OF  STATE  (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  OF  THE  MINISTRY  OF STATISTICS AND PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION, MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF PLANNING AND MINISTER  OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  CORPORATE  AFFAIRS  (RAO INDERJIT SINGH)

- (a): As per the latest information received from State Governments, State/ Union Territory-wise Per Capita Income, measured in terms of Per Capita Net  State  Domestic  Product  (NSDP),  ranges  from  Rs.  71,472  to  Rs. 4,91,352  at  current  prices  and  Rs.  42,602  to  Rs.  3,17,196  at  constant (2011-12)  prices  for  the  financial  year  2021-22.  State  wise  per  capita NSDP  at  current  and  constant  prices  are  given  in  Annexure-I  and Annexure-II respectively.
- (b): This Ministry compiles estimates of rural and urban income, in terms of Per Capita Net Value Added (NVA), only in the base year of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) series, which is currently 2011-12. The per capita

NVA for rural and urban area was Rs.40,925 and Rs.98,435 respectively in the year 2011-12.

(c): Government has been focusing on inclusive growth as reflected in its commitment of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and has taken various steps to address the rural urban disparity. 'Gaon, Gareeb aur Kisan' has been at the centre of government policies.  Government has been implementing a number of targeted programmes to improve the per capita income of both rural  and  urban  India  for  overall  balanced  development  in  the  country. These  programmes,  inter-alia,  include  Pradhan  Mantri  Kisan  Samman Nidhi, Pradhan Mantri Kisan Maan-Dhan Yojana, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana, National Rural and Urban Livelihoods Mission, Skill India, Pradhan Mantri  Awaas  Yojana  (PMAY),  Pradhan  Mantri  Gram  Sadak  Yojana (PMGSY), Swachh Bharat Mission, Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana, National Social  Assistance  Programme  (NSAP),  Pradhan  Mantri  Jan-Dhan  Yojana (PMJDY), DeenDayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY), Shyama  Prasad  Mukherji Rurban Mission (SPMRM),  Pradhan Mantri Suraksha  Bima  Yojana  (PMSBY),  Pradhan  Mantri  Jeevan  Jyoti  Bima Yojana,  Atal  Pension  Yojana,  Pradhan  Mantri  Mudra  Yojana,  Stand  Up India  Scheme,  Pradhan  Krishi  Sinchai   Yojana,  Swachh  Bharat  Mission (Rural and Urban), etc. A National Infrastructure Pipeline of Rs.103 lakh crore was announced to boost infrastructure and spur growth impulses in the economy.

Government has also implemented the Aspirational Districts Programme aimed at comprehensive development of backward areas in six areas: (i) health & nutrition, (ii)  education, (iii) agriculture & water resources, (iv) financial inclusion, (v) skill development, and (vi) basic infrastructure. To combat disruption  of  economic  activities  due  to  the  onset  of  COVID-19 pandemic,  economic  safety  nets  comprised  of  world's  largest  free  food program, direct cash transfers and relief measures for small businesses have been put in place. This was combined with a rapid ramp-up of the vaccination  programme.  Several  measures  have  also  been  taken  to increase growth and consumption in both rural and urban India under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat in 2020-21. Further, Government announced a relief package of Rs 6.29 lakh crore in June 2021 to strengthen public health and provide impetus for growth and employment measures.

Union  Budget  2022-23  lays  a  parallel  track  of  (1)  a  blueprint  for  the AmritKaal,  which  is  futuristic  and  inclusive,  which  will  directly  benefit youth, women, farmers, the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes, and (2) big public investment for modern infrastructure, by PM Gati Shakti and benefited by the synergy of multi-modal approach. Inclusive development is one of the priorities of Union Budget 2022-23 announcements. This can be seen in measures such as higher allocation for  PM  Kisan  and  direct  payments  for  minimum  support  price  (MSP)  to wheat  and  paddy  farmers,  promotion  of  chemical  free  natural  farming, river linking projects, food processing, expansion of guarantee cover for MSME,  infusion  of  funds  in  Credit  Guarantee  Trust  for  Micro  and  Small Enterprises (CGTMSE) scheme, programme for Raising and Accelerating MSME Performance (RAMP), Skill development, Universalization of quality education,  Digital  University,  Ayushman  Bharat  digital  mission,  national tele-mental health programme, Mission Shakti, Mission Vatsalya, Saksham Anganwadi & Poshan 2.0 for integrated benefits to women and children, HarGharNal se Jal, Housing for All, Aspirational Blocks programme, Vibrant Villages programme, Anytime - Anywhere post office savings, Digital banking and digital payments.
