Annual Plan 2012-13- An Overview Tamil Nadu is one of the leading progressive states of the country with better socio-economic indicators. The State is committed to achieve higher sustainable economic and inclusive growth. As envisioned by the Hon’ble Chief Minister, the Government has come out with a vision document viz., Vision Tamil Nadu 2023 which aims to propel the State into the league of developed regions of the world and to the top of the league tables of Indian States. Tamil Nadu, given its factor endowments and the combination of strengths and opportunities, will aim to grovy its GSDP at. 11%. or more .per annum which is about 20% more than expected growth rate of India’s GDP (Vision 2023). The year 2012-13 is the first year of the Twelfth Five Year Plan. The Twelfth Five Year Plan is poised at the start of the growth trajectory, which would launch Tamil Nadu to be one among the most economically prosperous states. In the current year, the economic growth of the State is projected around 9.39% as per Advance Estimates. The state however, shall consciously work towards a target of 11% growth as envisioned by the vision target. The size of the Annual Plan has been increased to ? 28,000 crore. Equitable development is not possible without achieving higher growth rates in the primary and manufacturing sector along with the services sector. Tamil Nadu enjoys a leadership position in the country with regard to 'Automobiles, auto components, heavy engineering and general engineering industries and also readymade Textiles and Hosiery that have been generating huge employment. The State will aspire to attain global leadership and linkages in these sectors. Tamil Nadu continues to be an attractive investment destination for investors and is in the forefront of attracting Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), establishing Special Economic Zones (SEZ) and Industrial Parks, it is a leading contributor in the IT and BPO sector. Tamil Nadu has a well established transportation system that connects all parts of the State, which is partly responsible for the investment in the State. It has a growing tourism industry. Census 2011 indicates that Tamil Nadu is the most urbanized State in the country with 48.45 percent of its population living in urban areas. It is also one of the country's most literate State, having 80.33% literacy rate. As Tamil Nadu has been in the forefront of introducing social reforms and implementing an array of welfare schemes to empower the most vulnerable sections of the society, the State performs well in Human Development Indicators. The State is undergoing a structural transformation. The services sector grew at the rate of 11.1% during the Eleventh plan period with 64.7% share in the State Gross Domestic Product (GSDP) in 2011-12. The Contribution of Agricultural sector dwindled to 7.7% in 2011-12 from 11.1% in 2004-05 and the industries sector contribution has also reduced gradually from 31.6% in 2004-05 to 27.1% in 2011-12 of State Gross Domestic Product.
