This growth rate is on par with the rates in Europe and Australia. However, UP, Bihar and the north east continue to increase with very high rates from 3-4% that makes the indian aRank verage to be 2.7% way behind china.

  1. Hi rethu

    Got the concept of posting comments. Good to read your blog. Do put up more posts - maybe a good way to be in touch as you say. Alarming figures for UP and Bihar!! Proud of TN - is half the rate of other states. Way to go Tamils!!

  2. Sugi: I am glad that you were able to crack the difficult problem of posting in new blogs. yeah, appalling isnt it, to see that Bihar and UP that are right in the middle of the country remain so unaware of what the rest of the country are doing. As you can see, there will be a mass migration of people from north-northeast to south -southwest. I think this is already happening.
