Gujarat ranks tenth in respect of population and ninth in respect of area among the States of India. The density'bf population in Gujarat in 1991 was 211 persons per sq.km^as against 274 persons per sq. km. for the country. 1.1.2 In respect of urbanisation, Gujarat ranks fourth amongst the States in India with the proportion of urban population at 34.5 percent as compared to 25.7 percent for the Country. 1.1.3 The decadal growth of population in Gujarat has significantly declined from 27.7 percent during 1971-81 to 21.2 percent during 1981-91. It is also lower than the growth rate of 23.8 percent for the country during 1981-91. 1.1.4 The proportions of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes population as per 1991 census in the State were 7,4 percent and 14.9 percent respectively. About 62.1 percent of the scheduled castes population resided in rural areas and the remaining 37.9 percent was residing in urban areas. The corresponding proportions for scheduled tribes were 91.9 percent and 8.1 percent respectively. Literacy 1.1.5 In respect of literacy, Gujarat r^ k s ninth, amongst the States of India. The literacy rate in the State (excluding children in the age group 0-6 years) has increased from 49.90 percent in 1981 to 61.29 percent in 1991. Among males, it has increased from 62.07 percent in 1981 to 73.13 percent in 1991 and among females, it has increased from 36.94 percent in 1981 to 48.64 percent in 1991. The literacy rate for the rural areas is 53.09 percent and for the urban areas it is 76.54 percent as per 1991 census. Workers 1.1.6 According to 1991 census, out of the total population of 413 lakhs of the State, 141 lakhs were main workers, 25 lakhs were marginal workers and 247 lakhs were non-workers. Thus main workers constitute about 34.12 percent and marginal workers constitute about 6.11 percent of the total population of the State. The female workers constitute about 25.96 percent of the total female population of the State. The proportion of agricultural labourers to total main workers works out to 22.92 percent. 1.2 State Domestic Product 1.2.1 According to the most quick estimates, the Net State Domestic Product (NSDP) of Gujarat State for the year 1993-94 at constant (1980-81) prices is placed at Rs. 10178 crore which is lower than that of the preceeding year by 7.4 %. The decrease in the NSDP is in the primary sector comprising of Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Mining and Quarrying. 1.2.2 The NSDP from secondary sector consisting of Manufacturing, Electricity, Gas and Water Supply and Construction has shown an increase of about 1.3 percent and that from the tertiary sector consisting of Trade, Transport, Communication, Banking Insurance, Ownership of Dwellings, Public Administration, Other Services etc. has shown an increase of 1.9 percent over the previous year. 1.2.3 In the tertiary sector, the NSDP from the subsector Transport, Storage and Communication has shown an increase of 5.7 percent, the sub-sector Banking and Insurance and Real estate and Ownership of dwelling have registered an increase of 2.3 percent, and 1.0 percent respectively, and that from the sub­ sector Public Administration and Other Services has shown an increase of 6.9 percent. The Sub-sector Trade, Hotels and Restaurants has also registered a decline of 3.8 percent during the year 93-94 over the previous year (92-93). 1 1.2.4 The per capita NSDP for the year 1993-94 at constant (1980-81) prices is estimated at Rs. 2351 while in 1992-93, it was Rs. 2585. 1.2.5 Due to migration of industrial workers from Surat during plague epidemic, coupled with heavy rains and floods, the industrial growth in the State which was picking up from 1993-94 got a jolt for a while. This may also diversify industries like diamond cutting to more centres. 1.2.6 Despite natural calamities of heavy rains and floods and plague during the year 1994-95, the Net State Domestic Product in 1994-95 is likely to exhibit a growth in real terms over the scarcity year of 1993-94. 1.3 Agriculture 1.3.1 The long dry spell of about 10 weeks in 1993 from July onwards affected the kharif crops adversely. The total foodgrains production in the State during 1993-94 is estimated at about 37.76 lakh tonnes. The production of groundnut during 1993-94 is estimated at 6.77 lakh tonnes. The production of cotton is estimated to be 16.23 lakh bales of 170 kgs. each. 1.3.2 During the monsoon of 1994, entire State received copious rainfall with high intensity for a long time. There were heavy rains and floods in 3 spells which affected 14 districts and damaged the kharif crops in many part of the State. However most of the irrigation dams and reservoirs have become full of water. Similarly ground water conditions have also improved considerably. Therefore, the potential for irrigation water from both these sources, surface and ground water, has considerably increased. This will lead to increase in the area under rabi/summer crops. As such the production prospects of rabi-summer crops is very bright. The Kharif foodgrain production in the State during 1994-95 is estimated at 26.91 lakhs tonnes and production of wheat is estimated at 17.78 lakh tonnes.
