The estimates of national income (measured as net national income) and per capita income (measured as per capita net national income) of the country during the last three years are as under:

Item (at current prices)	2014-15	2015-16	2016-17
Net National Income (Rs. crore)	10953761	12076882	13408211
Per Capita Net National Income (Rs.)	86454	94130	103219

Annual estimates of net state domestic product (NSDP) and per capita income (measured as per capita NSDP) are compiled by all the States/UTs except UTs of Daman & Diu, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Lakshadweep. As per latest reports, data for the 33 States/UTs is available till the year 2014-15. The information is given in the statement at Annexure-I.

The Government has been implementing several programmes for skill development, self-employment, wage employment and creation of assets that aim to promote inclusive growth and thereby bridge the income gaps.  These include Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihood Mission (DAY-NULM) of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MHUPA) and various rural development schemes of the Department of Rural Development (DRD), namely,  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Scheme  (MGNREGS), Pradhan  Mantri  Awaas  Yojana Gramin  (PMAYG),  Pradhan  Mantri  Gram  Sadak  Yojana (PMGSY), Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAYNRLM) and Deen  Dayal  Upadhyaya-Grameen  Kaushalya  Yojana  (DDU-GKY).

 The State/UT-wise details of per capita income for the year 1989-90 (before 1991 economic reforms) and for the year 1992-93 (after 1991 economic reforms) are given in the statement at Annexure-II. State/UT-wise per capita income for the year 2014-15 (latest available) is included in the statement given at Annexure-I.

Level of inequality is assessed in terms of Lorenz ratios of monthly per capita expenditure distribution using consumer expenditure data of the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO). The NSSO 68^th round report for the year 2011-12 noted that there was an increase in inequality (in terms of Lorenz ratio) from 0.297 to 0.307 for the rural sector and from 0.373 to 0.385 for the urban sector, when compared to the data of 61^st round for the year 2004-05. Reasons for increase were not surveyed.

Comparison of inequality in terms of Lorenz ratios at State level based on NSSO 68^th round (2011-12) data and 66^th round (2009-10) data indicates that inequality in rural sector increased in all States/ UTs except for Sikkim, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab. During this period, in respect of the urban sector, inequality increased in Manipur, Mizoram, Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Arunachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Karnataka, Haryana and Kerala.

This information was given by Minister for Statistics and Programme Implementation Shri D.V. Sadananda Gowda in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha.

 Note: The UTs of Chandigarh, Daman & Diu, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Lakshadweep did not compile these estimates.

Per capita income reporting shows rising national and state incomes alongside noted increases in income inequality. Estimates of national income and per capita income at current prices for 2014-15 through 2016-17 show increases; State/UT NSDP and per capita NSDP figures for 2014-15 are tabulated in Annexure I, with historical 1989-90 and 1992-93 per capita comparisons in Annexure II. Distributional assessment uses NSSO Lorenz ratios, which indicate increased inequality in rural and urban sectors across specified rounds, while government programmes aimed at inclusive growth and income gap reduction are listed.
