How does the picture of India’s economic progress change when we move from a worm’s eye view to a bird’s eye view? A chapter in this year’s economic survey attempts to show the change by moving away from economic data to another kind of data – geospatial data and cartographic techniques.
Using these tools the Survey tracked, compared, and illustrated long-term developments in the economy that get ignored in day-to-day news and analysis. For example, can nightlights captured through satellites show how greater access to electricity has changed India? Or can a 15-year visual comparison of sowing cycles in Punjab help us understand why farmers are now burning stubble more than ever?
Here are 12 images of India’s economic progress you may not have seen before:
The night sky is brighter
India’s night-time luminosity in 2012 and 2021 shows the expansion of electricity supply and economic activity.
Roads of development are longer
India's national highway length has almost doubled between 2011 and 2021.
City commutes are faster and better
The expansion of existing metro rail networks in cities like Kolkata, Delhi and Bengaluru and new ones in smaller ones like Lucknow, Kanpur and Kochi has made daily commute more convenient in several cities.
More places to fly to and from
Within a span of just five years, the number of airports has more than doubled.
A bank on every street
The expansion of commercial banking to every nook and corner of the country is an indication of the increase in economic activity.
India's moving to the cities …
As cities get crowded, they have also expanded bringing a much bigger area into their fold.
… and changing the urban landscape
The needs of a growing urban population is changing the face of our cities too.
We are growing more food…
The net sown area has increased by a fifth in the past 15 years.
… as irrigation network expands
… and we learn to use water better
We have created problems…
The Kharif crop cycle in Punjab's Moga district has shifted ahead by two-to-three weeks between 2005 and 2021 causing the Kharif harvest to almost coincide with Rabi sowing in November. This has encouraged farmers to burn stubble. This is also related to the restrictions on early transplanting of Kharif paddy put in place in 2009 in order to reduce pumping of groundwater. However, that had the unintended consequence of damaging air quality.
…. but are also making amends
The wasteland redeployment for industrial use in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, and for generation of solar power in Charanka, Gujarat, show that a change for better is possible.
