About This Dataset
Growth rates fluctuate across years, with periods of double-digit expansion (2001–02, 2006–07) and occasional slowdowns (2002–03, 2005–06). Overall, Meghalaya’s economy demonstrates a mix of steady urban-driven growth and rising contributions from smaller districts.
Data Quality
The dataset is structurally consistent with clearly defined columns and numeric formatting for economic indicators. No missing or null values were detected across the dataset. However, GDP and growth rate values are stored together within the same table and differentiated by the description field, which may require transformation for analytical workflows.
Use Cases
Economic trend analysis, regional development studies, district-level economic comparisons, policy planning, economic forecasting models, and academic research on regional economic growth.
Limitations
The dataset does not include sector-wise GDP contributions or detailed methodology for calculation. Growth rate and GDP values are combined in the same structure, which may require preprocessing. Geographic metadata such as district codes or coordinates is not included.
Methodology
The data appears to be compiled from government economic accounting records where district-level GDP estimates are calculated at current prices for each financial year. Growth rates are likely derived from year-over-year comparisons of these GDP values.
