This exercise was undertaken in recognition of the fact that economic circumstances and performance in individual States’s varied considerably and it was necessary to examine development challenges for individual States in the light of State specific constraints and circumstances. The basic idea is to produce quality reference documents on development profiles of individual States and the possible strategies for accelerating growth, and reducing poverty and inequality. The Haryana Development Report reviews Haryana’s experience and highlights issues critical for the State’s development in the years ahead. I hope its publication will stimulate debate on growth strategies appropriate for Haryana. I am sure the road map indicated in the report will stimulate a broader awareness of the critical policy issues facing the State and will assist the State to move to a higher growth path and to achieve all round human and economic development.

Haryana has a creditable record of all- round development. It set the trend by adopting the green revolution strategy during mid-sixties which has made the State No.2 in the Country in food-grain production. During the last forty two years, Haryana has transformed itself from a backward Socio-economic State an vibrant economically progressive State one. Today, Haryana is not only the granary of India exporting large quantities of food-grains to other States but is also the hub for producing a wide range of industrial products. This progress has been well chronicled in the Development Report of the State. Our State Government is committed for all-round development of all regions and all people of the State. However, I do belive that we have a long road to travel before we can claim to have fulfilled Mahatma Gandhi’s prayer to wipe the last tear from the poorest of the poor. Our Government is committed to making the growth process more socially inclusive. The State Development Report is an important instrument for strengthening the pace of development of the State. This report provides a subtle synthesis among the development indicators of all sectors. I compliment the talented team of Dr. S.B. Dahiya, Prof. of 10 HARYANA DEVELOPMENT REPORT Economics, MDU, Rohtak and Dr. V.N. Attro, Prof. of Economics, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra for their pains taking effort in preparing the First State Development Report of Hayana. I also acknowledge the supporting work done by officers and staff of the Planning Department and the Economic and Statistical Organisation.

The SDRs are an attempt to compile quality reference document on the profile and strategy for accelerating the pace of development in the respective States. The Haryana State Development Report (HSDR) has been prepared by the Planning Commission with the assistance of the Institute of Development Studies, Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak and Deptt. of Economics, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra in partnership with the Government of Haryana. A Core Committee reviewed the dimensions of the various developmental issues and helped to chart out the scope and coverage of the SDR for Haryana in association with the State Government and the Institute of Development Studies, Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak and Deptt. of Economics, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra. I am sure this Report will serve as a resource material not only for the State and Central Government but also for all the non-governmental organisations working in Haryana.
