Growth rate (Ref - http://www.mapsofindia.com/maps/india/percapitaincome.htm)
An economic growth rate is a measure of economic growth from one period to another in percentage terms. This measure does
not adjust for inflation; it is expressed in nominal terms. In practice, it is a measure of the rate of change that a nation's gross
domestic product (GDP) goes through from one year to another, but gross national product (GNP) can also be used if a nation's
economy depends heavily on foreign earnings.

Composition Of Sectors
Sectoral Overview (Industrial sector):

many pre-requisite factors for industrial development. Even though
the geographical location and topography of the state is not
congenial for industrial development the sector has slowly made a
significant contribution in the GSDP. The industries sector has
contributed 22.02% of GSDP during 2012-13 as against 18.66% in
2011-12 (Statistical handbook Mizoram 2014).

Industrial Infrastructure:
The State Government with its limited resources and geographical
disadvantages had earmarked and developed industrial areas with
basic infrastructure. These industrial areas, though not fully
provided with required infrastructure, will solve the problem of
industrial land for entrepreneurs desirous of starting Industrial unit
to a great extent. Allotment of industrial plots in various industrial
areas has been made as per the Mizoram Industrial Areas
(Management, Regulation and Control) Act.-2008. Upgradation of
EPIP Lengte is being executed under the funding from NEC.

Textiles, Handlooms & Handicrafts:
Handloom is the most flourishing sector in the development of
Industrial activities. The handloom production is estimated to
be 6.00 crore creating thousands of employment. The sector is
further expected to be most promising to benefit the Look East
Policy announced by the Central Government. Handloom
Sector is most potential sector for export as the inhabitants of
the South East Asian Countries are wearing the same type of
fabrics produced by local weavers.

Food Processing Sector:
Development of Food Processing Industry has been taken up under the
National Mission on Food Processing (NMFP). The Director of Industries has
been appointed as Mission Director for the State Mission on Food Processing.
Funding pattern for the NE States under the Scheme is 90:10 Government of
India has released Rs. 1.125 crores for preparatory works for launching the
scheme Rs. 2.21 crores has been sanctioned for Mizoram for implementation
of the 4 (four) components of the Scheme. The first meeting of the SLEC on
26/11/2013 had decided to implement the scheme in a society mode. For this
society by the name of Mizoram Food Processing Development Society
(MIFPRODS) has been formed and is being registered under the Societies
Registration Act.
