Hi all,
If you get a chance, do check out the Exclusive Report : State of the STATES:
India Today Issue Sept 2006. This report analyses and ranks all the States in
India for Law and Order, Agriculture, Primary Health, Primary Education,
Investment Environment, Consumer Market etc. etc.
Assam ranks the last in Law and Order and very low in all other categories,
even among the Eastern States with Sikkim and Mizoram at the first two ranks
respectively (overall). Any lessons we can learn from Sikkim?
HIMACHAL PRADESH is either 1st or 2nd in all the categories, followed by
Haryana, Kerala and Punjab. Punjab ofcourse tops in Agriculture as well as
Infrastructure, Budget and Prosperity, Consumer Market and Overall States
Ranking. Gujarat tops in Investment Environment. Kerala tops in Law and Order.
Himachal Pradesh ranks first in Primary Health and Primary Education.
What lessons can we learn from these states ? Most of these high ranking States
do not have any Natural Resources to speak of, but what they have achieved is I
think through Strategic and Shrewed Planning combined with sheer hardwork and
good governance/management of whatever they have.
