first step to reinvigorate the growth potential of the economy in a sustained manner.
• To guide data-based policy making that advances India’s emergence as a major economy
The path to improve India’s competitiveness should be guided by robust data-based research and analysis that identifies the challenges and provides
actionable solutions to address them.

Shifting policy focus at the level of the states, districts and cities, India can unlock its growth potential by developing local competencies and
addressing challenges at each level of governance.

The development of clusters across the Indian economy can, thus, be an effective policy mechanism to infuse longevity and robustness in the country’s
growth prospects.

framework for the continual evaluation of India’s innovation
environment. The index aims to rank states and UTs based on
their scores, recognize opportunities and challenges, and assist
in tailoring government policies to foster innovation. The
report was done in collaboration with NITI Aayog. NITI Aayog,
with its mandate of promoting ‘competitive federalism’ among
all states and union territories, is committed to utilize the India
Innovation Index in catalysing the innovation outcome of the
nation.
• The report examines the innovation capabilities and performance of the states
and union territories.
• Overall Delhi Tops the List, Chandigarh Major Gainer, Karnataka and Himachal
Pradesh Lead in Their Respective Categories
• The India Innovation Index 2020 was released by NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Dr
Rajiv Kumar, in the presence of Member (Health) Dr VK Paul, Member
(Agriculture) Dr Ramesh Chand, CEO Amitabh Kant, Adviser (Science and
Technology) Neeraj Sinha, and Institute for Competitiveness Chair Dr Amit
Kapoor.
• In the ‘Major States’ category, Karnataka continued to occupy the top position,
while Maharashtra moved past Tamil Nadu to reach the second place
• Under the ‘North-Eastern/Hill States’ category Delhi retained its first rank, while
Chandigarh made a big leap since 2019 and landed in the second place this
year
KEY
FINDINGS

Recognizing the role of innovation as a key driver of
growth and prosperity for India, NITI Aayog with
Institute for Competitiveness as the knowledge
partner, have brought out the India Innovation Index
and Report. The Report evaluates the progress of
innovation readiness in states and union
territories, highlighting the obstacles that deter
governments, businesses, and individuals from fully

the country to identify the challenges to be addressed and strengths to build on
when designing the economic growth policies for their regions.
• Karnataka is the most innovative major state in India. Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra,
Telangana, Haryana, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Gujarat, and Andhra
Pradesh form the remaining top ten major states respectively.
• The top ten major states are majorly concentrated in southern and western
India.
• Sikkim and Delhi take the top spots among the north- eastern & hill states, and
union territories/city states/small states respectively.
• Delhi, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh are
the most efficient states in translating inputs into output.
• The index was released in the presence of Dr. Rajiv Kumar, Vice Chairman, NITI
Aayog; Amitabh Kant, CEO, NITI Aayog; Ashutosh Sharma, Secretary,
Department of Science; Renu Swarup, Secretary, Department of Biotechnology

• The index can be a valuable tool for the government and policymakers in encouraging healthy
competition among states and UTs, hence enhancing India’s standing in the global export
market
• NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant emphasized that the second edition of the index will be a
significant catalyst for promoting competitive federalism and a fair contest among states and
UTs in the global export landscape

Social Progress Index 2022
The Social Progress Index measures progress made by the country
across three dimensions – Basic Human Needs, Foundations of
Wellbeing, and Opportunity. Each dimension has four components.
The Index weighs 89 indicators at the state level and 49 at the
district level.
• SPI is a comprehensive tool intended to be a holistic measure of the Social Progress
made by the country at the national and sub-national levels.
• Understanding that the social progress of citizens is key to sustaining economic
growth in the long run, the index complements the conventional measures of
economic growth and development. Keeping in mind the pressing need for a
measurement model that can better understand the needs of society, while also
equipping decision-makers with the necessary knowledge and tools, the team
embarked on an extensive research phase to identify appropriate indicators and
measures of social progress for the report
• The report was released by Dr Bibek Debroy, Chairman EAC-PM. The event had

The paper discusses the role of containment as a measure to prevent the spread of the
virus. It highlights that, as against the top-down approach, a bottom-up approach was
critical in containing the virus.
Moreover, the Stanford report remarkably notes that robust measures at the ground level,
like contact tracing, mass testing, home quarantine, distribution of essential medical
equipment, revamping healthcare infrastructure, and constant coordination among
stakeholders at the centre, state, and district levels, not only helped contain the spread of
the virus but also in augmenting the health infrastructure.

Foundational Literacy and Numeracy in India
The second edition of State of Foundational Literacy and Numeracy specifically highlights language as an

provides 36 different indicators across five key domains: Educational Infrastructure, Access to Education,
Basic Health, Learning outcomes and Governance. The methodology adopted to assign weights in the index is
Principal component analysis (PCA). States were categorised into different tiers based on the level of
development in every state across India to help in developing better analysis. Furthermore, the states have
been classified based on their children population, i.e., the ones aged ten years and below.

sectors of health, education, household characteristics and the labour market. As the report presents, inequities in
these sectors make the population more vulnerable and triggers a descent into multidimensional poverty.
