MACRO ECONOMIC PROFILE12

District-wise Per Capita Income

1.24 Growth rate at current prices does not eliminate the inflationary impact. When district level
growth rate at constant prices, is compared the “real” NSDP growth rate may be observed as the
inflationary impact has been eliminated. Table 1.5 reveals that the districts of Kasargod, Kozhikode,
Thrissur and all the southern districts viz. Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha
had higher real growth in NSDP than the State Average. However, the districts of Wayanad, Kollam,
Palakkad and Idukki showed lower growth in per capita income than the state average.

1.25 The analysis of district wise per capita income shows that Ernakulam district stands first
with the per capita income of ` 86267 at constant (2004-05) prices in 2013-14 as against ` 81557
in 2012-13. The district wise per capita income with corresponding rank and growth rate is given in
Table 1.4
