New Delhi: An expert committee under chief economic adviser Raghuram Rajan has identified 10 parameters for a new Composite Development Index, whose adoption by the Centre will change the way thousands of crores are transferred annually.
The new index seeks to rate states on the basis of their distance from the national average on parameters including poverty rate, consumption, education, health, female literacy, urbanization, household amenities, connectivity, financial inclusion and share of SCs/STs in total population.
Some states like Bihar have insisted on the inclusion also of per capita energy consumption among the measures of development.
[edit] COMPOSITE DEVELOPMENT INDEX
[edit] The new CRITERIA will INCLUDE
Education
Health
Poverty rate
Monthly per capita consumption
Female literacy
Share of SCs & STs in total population
Rate of urbanization
Financial inclusion
Connectivity
Household amenities
[edit] Current classification
Under the current classification, Bihar and many other Bimaru states (a club of underdeveloped north Indian states) don’t qualify to be treated as backward and, hence, deserving of special assistance that accrues to the seven northeastern states, Sikkim, J&K, Himachal and Uttarakhand.
The proposed index will be the basis for the new system of special assistance running into thousands of crores to certain states and will replace the existing method based on geographical factors and terrain.
