Results: District Profiles

In this section, we highlight the performances of each district in each of the sub-indices, which throws further light in understanding how the district’s overall ranking is built, i.e. which are the sectors which contribute to its high and low ranking, within each sub-index.

For example, an overall rank of ‘two’ for Namakkal district does not imply that it ranks ahead of the rest of the districts for all the individual sub indices. The current dataset shows that this same district ranks ‘25’ when it comes to Environmental Sustainability. Similarly, an overall economic environment rank of ‘28’ for Dindigul does not mean that its performance is the worst in each of the parameters of economic environment. From the current dataset it is evident that Dindigul has been ranked ‘14’ for its Environmental Sustainability. This way, no particular district is ranked lowest or highest in all the sub indices of EEI. In each district, there are certain driving factors which can be set as an example for other districts which are perceived to be relatively poorer in the same domain, and there are certain constraints that prevent the district from doing well which need to be brought into picture. Also, it is important to stress on the governance aspect in each district which needs the most immediate attention. For example, within a district the seven sub-indices need to be compared with each other so as to know which aspect needs to be brought into light for future policy measures. Hence, this section highlights, through a simple graphical display, various economic aspects of each district that can be used as a tool by policy makers to direct the resources to wherever there are governance gaps.
