  • Development Profile Himachal Pradesh
    DEVELOPMENT PROFILE OF HIMACHAL PRADESH NIEPA DC U03540 Issued by : Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Himachal Pradesh, Shimla. Systems Unrt, , f*;, EdiicAt!Oini«l Aiva'-'-'— u T. -nti', i j ’tv l \ i iOOM H ^ PREFACE The Himalayan re^on, traditionally an abode of Gods, has been nestling in its laps the great centres of meditation, learning and research from the heydays of Indian golden age. But for centuries before the Himachal Pradesh came into being it had seen dire neglect and deep frustration. At the time of its formation some of the hill resorts were connected with rail/roads and these were provided with amenities like electricity, water supply, drainage etc. but the hills in general remained in a state of squalor. The backlog of underdevelopment had piled up with the passage of time and hill areas were considered as source of supply of cheap unskilled labourers and mute domestic servants. Thus the hills were plague spots in the country so far as development was considered. 2. For the proper socio-economic development of the area it was essential to first develop its road and communication network so that the breeze of independence could invigorate the economy out of its chronic lethargy. The thirty three years of planned efforts and untiring devotion of the sei-vants of the people has now given the state a modicum of pride by placing it fifth amongst the States of India. But the economy continues to be mostly agro-pastoral and we are now poised for a take off to reap the benefits of all the labour, sweat and toil.

A post-poll survey conducted in 15 out of 68 assembly constituencies in Himachal Pradesh. The aim of the CSDS is to generate data bank of surveys held over the years in different parts of the country which helps to make interstate comparison on disposition of the electorates opinion towards different political parties, socio-economic, political, development, and governance issues and to understand electorates’ behavior pattern which varies with region, community, religion, class, and gender.
