About This Dataset
Kangra consistently posted the highest GDP, followed by Shimla and Solan, highlighting their economic dominance. Districts like Kullu, Hamirpur, and Mandi showed strong double-digit growth, while tribal areas (Kinnaur, Lahaul & Spiti) remained smaller but volatile. Overall, the state experienced balanced development with a mix of industrial, agricultural, and service-driven growth.
Data Quality
The dataset is structured consistently with numeric values across district columns and categorical descriptors identifying value type. There are no major formatting inconsistencies observed. However, GDP values and growth rates are stored in the same table, which may require preprocessing for analytical workflows.
Use Cases
Regional economic analysis, district-level development comparison, economic growth monitoring, academic research in regional economics, policy planning, and economic visualization dashboards.
Limitations
The dataset does not include detailed methodological notes, sector-level breakdowns, or demographic context. GDP values and growth rates are combined within the same structure rather than separated, which may require transformation for statistical analysis.
Methodology
The data was likely compiled from state economic accounts where district-level GDP estimates are calculated using regional economic accounting frameworks. Growth rates are derived by comparing GDP values between consecutive financial years at current prices.
