Karnataka slipped from third position in 2016 to fourth in 2017 while Maharashtra stood fifth (4th in 2016) in governance indicators. There was no change in the last four positions among large States. Like in the previous year, Bihar (18th), Jharkhand (17th), Odisha (16th) and Assam (15th) are at the bottom of the table in PAI, a latest survey of think-tank Public Affairs Centre (PAC), Bengaluru, has revealed. 10 themes The survey was based on 10 themes, 26 focus subjects and 82 indicators. Among 12 small States (population less than two crore), Himachal has wrested the first rank, followed by Goa and Mizoram. Delhi slipped from third position in 2016 to 9th position in 2017. Meghalaya (12th), Arunachal Pradesh (11th) and Jammu Kashmir (10th) are at the bottom of the table. Punjab is the best performer among all States in the category of essential infrastructure.

randomGuy Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I have a feeling that UP will be better than South-states if it gives 5-10 years to Yogi ji. Regardless of such rankings, some southern states would do well to take care of the water shortage problem, unclean, undrinkable water with extreme iron content etc. On average, North is slightly more lucky in this respect I believe. And of course, bjp will always be far far better on fiscal prudence than other governments as they are nationalists while other govts. will borrow more in order to spend more when the election nears.

Gollum Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 For now southern states are ahead. But if you look closer Kerala has no economy of it's own, no industries, no thriving local manufacturing and even IT is behind B'luru, Hyd, Chennai etc. Totally dependent on Gulf economy wise, sooner or later it is going to go bust. Only difference between today's Kerala and 1980s WB is that WB didn't have an equivalent of Gulf. See Kerala following a similar path, with 200 days hartal every year in a few years time. TN is another state going down the dumps. The political leadership there is beyond pathetic, corruption humongous, huge reservation quotas and no willingness to improve. TN is going down the drain in a few years, which will be sad because after Bengal this state has given max number of intellectuals to India, may be even number 1 in that aspect. Tamil Brahmans have had a huge role in building modern day India, probably some of the greatest minds the world has seen eg Ramanujam, Anand, Swaminathan, Chandrasekhar, Venkatraman, Srinu Mama . So called BIMARU states can't go any lower, they have to improve. Immense potential, hunger to improve, better leadership, demographic dividend.......very soon OP is going to see Northies rise to the top and Kerala, TN in the mid table.

If Yogi can ensure 18-20 electricity in his tenure throughout UP , I will consider his achievement credible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velu Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 TN is doing better than other states not because of the politicans , its because of the people of TN. Same goes with kerala too. BeautifulGame 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBN Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 this is just a survey? looks like various states getting top ranks in the different metrics. Punjab ranking top in essential infrastructure and human development "Punjab is the best performer among all States in the category of essential infrastructure.

Abundant Clean Water , fertile plains alone is enough to give states like punjab, haryana a better quality of life than almost all south states.

rageaddict Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Standard of living in Punjab, Haryana , Himachal and Jammu Kashmir is better than most Southern States. The useless Bhaiyya states bring down the overall standard of North India due to which all Northies have to bear the embarrassment of belonging to the same region.

Its got ingredients like proximity to national capital, rivers, fertile plains, young population, Hindi speakers (the connect language of India) etc. and most importantly, the new resolute Govt. Even MP is no longer 'BIMARU'. One can see in crime data, business data, cleanliness rankings etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punjab's water is most contaminated in India due to Uranium poisoning. It is lethal. Birth abnormalities including physical deformities, hydrocephaly, microcephaly, cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome and other physical and mental abnormalities, cancers in children, neurological and mental disorders are through the roof. Punjab has special 'A Cancer Train' to Rajasthan. At 9.20 pm everyday, a passenger train leaves Bhathinda town for Bikaner in Rajasthan. It's full of cancer patients. High levels of uranium were found in 88% of the samples in March 2009, when a South African Metal Toxicologist, Carin Smit, visited Faridkot city in Punjab, India. Worst-affected village, Teja Rohela, near Fazilka, has over 100 children which are congenitally mentally and physically challenged. Punjab has extremely high levels of chemical, biological and radioactive toxicity, including uranium contamination. In single Muktsar district between 2001 and 2009, 1,074 people died of cancer. Samples taken in the vicinity of the around the coal-fired power plants, displayed levels of uranium were up to 15 times above the WHO's maximum safe limits. Causes - Excessive use of chemical fertilizer Bombing in Iraq and Aghanistan Fly ash from coal burnt at thermal power plants Uranium enrichment in the underlying Siwalik sediments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohit S. Ambani Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 These are materialistic indexes, I don't care how big is states GDP or growth or whatever is. To me, Hygiene > Everything else. So I guess my vote goes to Sikkim in India. One of reasons, I admire Arab world so much. Almost all muslims except Pakistani, Bangla's and other South Asians are most fastidious with respect to personal hygiene. I club Pakistani, Banglas in 'Desi' club, they are no different than Indians. Book_Worm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing. I am reading following: Quote A senior official said that a study conducted by the Physics Department of the Punjab University found that agrochemicals containing uranium were responsible for the contamination of the ground water. Fertilizers used also add to the contamination of ground water but their contribution to uranium is negligibly small http://www.sunday-guardian.com/news/uranium-poisoning-of-punjabs-water-spreads-beyond-malwa This seems man made. Hopefully immediate measures are taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kubrickian Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) First reduce fertility rates in BIMARU(North Indian) states. Cant continue to breed like rats. Their fertility rate is still 3.5 and above. They have such poor standard of living and yet people continue to produce more babies. Inexcusable and will put more burden on the country in years to come. Edited May 14, 2017 by kubrickian velu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
