Abstract
Odisha remains one of the most backward states in
India. With a per capita income of Rs 40,412 (of net
state domestic product (NSDP) at current prices), it
ranked 21 among 28 Indian states in 2010–11. The per capita
income of the state is far below the net national average of
Rs 53,331 at current prices. It was 76% of the national average
and only 26% of the per capita income of the richest state, Goa.
In addition, the monthly per capita consumption expenditure
(MPCE) of rural Odisha (Rs 905) was 70% of the average MPCE
of rural India (Rs 1,287), and the MPCE of urban Odisha
(Rs 1,830) was 74% of the average MPCE of urban India
(Rs 2,477).
