4. Gujarat Model vs. Kerala Model
The stark differences between economic growth and development with respect to the different parameters
1. Based on the per capita
income of the state
2. Calculations based on
indicators like net GDP and net
income
3. Growth model believes in the
Trickle down effect
1. Based on the Human
Development Index parameters
2. Calculations based on health
indicators, educational indicators
and income
Going by extremes, Kerala tops in health and educational indicators, while ranks 5th in income
Haryana in spite of being the richest state ranks 7th in developmental parameters
Hence, no necessary correlation between the two indicators
The data speaks a different story

5. If not an entirely exact correlation, according to data there is an effect of income on social indicators
