Beyond GDP: sure, India should measure district-level economic output—but go beyond that too
The next generation of district statistics should rest on three complementary pillars. The first is economic performance, measured through district GDP, enterprise activity, investment and employment generation. The second is household prosperity, reflected in income, consumption, savings, housing quality and access to basic services. The third is human and social development, captured through learning outcomes, health status, female workforce participation, environmental quality, social mobility and public service delivery.
