followed by 24% in coastal Andhra and least in Telangana at 22%. The overall
work participation rate is high at 47.5% in Rayalaseema followed by 46% each in
coastal Andhra and Telangana. As expected, the level of urbanization is rather
low in all regions – Telangana (22%) and 25 % in coastal Andhra and 23%
Rayalaseema. Therefore, Hyderabad district which is fully urbanized has grown
at the cost of all the three regions and is now central to the economies of the
three regions in Andhra Pradesh. Refer to Appendix 2.1 for a comparison of
additional variables amongst the three identified regions.
2.2 Gross District Level Domestic Product (GDDP)
2.2.01 In India, value added in the productive sectors of the economy is
estimated at the level of the state. Using time tested standard methods the state
GDP is redistributed to each of the districts based on the structure of the district
economy. In the following analyses such Gross District Level Domestic Product
(GDDP) data are aggregated at the regional level to undertake regional level
comparisons over time. Hyderabad being dominantly urban with a concentration
of manufacturing, business and both public and private services sector activities,
the per capita income has always been high, yet in 1993-94 it was coastal
Andhra which had the highest per capita income of `12809 at 1999-2000 prices
and Telangana excluding Hyderabad city had lowest per capita income at
`11391. However, by the year 2007-8, Hyderabad city experienced
extraordinarily high growth in per capita income and reached `39145 level; the
remaining regions also experienced growth so as to reach for example, `26655 in
coastal Andhra, `25237 in Telangana (excluding Hyderabad) and `23860 in
Rayalaseema (See Table 2.2).
