Economic Activities
Organized credit to a business sector is a relevant indicator of regional strengths in the given sector. Finance is important to promote fresh investments, keep operations function smoothly, as well as mitigate risks. The maps in this section reflect the reach of organized credit to different geographies in 13 broad categories of economic activities.
Some districts rank among the top in all or most these broad categories of economic activities. These are the districts with large cities and metros, which can be classified as advanced economies, offering huge scope for specialization for its residents.
Some districts rank among top in one or two of these broad categories of economic activities. Evidently, these are the districts with strong business clusters operating in select businesses. Usually, these are expected to leverage available strengths to thrive in the chosen economic activity. However, some geographies are emerging stronger in activities that do not leverage their respective regional strengths.
Many districts rank low in almost all these broad categories of economic activities. Often these are among the poorest districts of India.
One of the major research question that this mapping exercise puts forth is – which are the economic activities that have contributed to regional economic performance and increased per capita incomes, and why.
