The essential goals of planning were creation of infrastructure, improvement of standard of living of the people below the poverty line and attainment of self-reliance. Creation of employment opportunities was also main focus. The State continues to have the problems of imbalance in regional development, inadequate infrastructure for fast urbanization and recurring spells of scarcity, particularly of drinking water. The Annual Plans were therefore formulated on this background. A brief overview of Economic Development of Maharashtra is given in the subsequent paragraphs. Population 2.2 The population of Maharashtra as per Census 2011 was 11.24 crore. The population growth in the State during the decade 2001-2011 was 16.0%. Maharashtra is the second largest State in India in respect of population. The density of population (person per sq. km.) in 2011 was 365 for the State as against 382 for the country. The average annual compound growth rate of Maharashtra during 2001- 2011 is 1.5% which is slightly less than the corresponding growth (2.1%) during the earlier decade. Urbanisation and Migration 2.3 As per 2011 Population Census, the percentage of urban population to total population in Maharashtra was 45.2 as against 31.2 for the country. State Income 2.4 The per capita income of Maharashtra in 2011-12 at current price was Rs.95,339/-, while it was Rs.61,564/- for the country as a whole. The higher per capita income of the State appears to be essentially due to the relatively better developed tertiary sector in the State Economy. Agriculture 2.5 During the year 2013-14, the food grains production was at the level of 154.60 lakh tonnes tentatively. Industries 2.6 Maharashtra continued to occupy the foremost position in the country in respect of its share in factory employment. The industrial activity in the State is mainly concentrated in Mumbai, Thane and Pune districts. Total number of factories in the year 2011 was 35,876 and average daily factory employment was 18.14 lakh in the State. The share of these districts in factory employment has decreased from 58% in 1995 to 54% in 2000. In 2005 and 2010, the percentage of factory employment was increased upto 57%. In 2011, the share of these districts in factory employment was increased upto 60%. 4 Sugar Production 2.7 In 2012-13 out of 156 sugar factories, 108 were in production in the co- operative sector of the State. These factories crushed 504.62 lakh tonnes of sugarcane in 2012-13. Electricity 2.8 The installed capacity of electricity generation including renewable in Maharashtra as on 31st March, 2012 was 20,702 MW. The Central Sector Allocation in the installed capacity of National Thermal Power Corporation and the Nuclear Power Corporation was 5,792 MW. The total generation of electricity in 2011-12 was increased by 8.5% over the previous year to 89,996 million KWH. During 2012-13 upto December, 2012, the generation of electricity was 67,551 million KWH which was higher by 0.6% in the corresponding period of 2010-11. The total consumption of electricity in 2011-12 was 96,644 million KWH, which was higher by 10.6% than the consumption of 87,397 million KWH during 2010-11.
