UTTARAKHAND STATE PERSPECTIVE AND STRATEGIC PLAN, 2009-2027 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Uttarakhand is located between 28 o 43' – 31 o 27' N latitudes and 77 o 34' – 81 o 02' E longitudes. The river Tons separates the state from Himachal Pradesh in the north-west, whereas the river Kali separates it from Nepal in the east. The greater Himalaya is the northern boundary of the state and is also the international border with China (Tibet). Foot-hills in the south are bound by Uttar Pradesh. The region, being situated centrally in the long sweep of the Himalaya, forms a transitional zone between the per-humid eastern and the dry to sub-humid western Himalaya. Uttarakhand became the 27th state of the Republic of India on 9 November 2000. The population of the state primarily depends on agriculture for livelihood; about 70% of the population is engaged in agriculture. Out of total reported area, only 14.02% is under cultivation. More than 55.0% of the cultivated land in the State is rainfed. The cropping intensity is 160.6%. The landholdings are small and scattered. The average land holding is around 0.68 ha (that too is divided into many patches) in the hills and 1.77 ha in the plains. About 70% of hills population is engaged in agriculture. There is hardly any other major source of livelihood deriving from the secondary or tertiary sectors. These sectors are very poorly developed primarily because of inaccessibility and vulnerability of mountain regions. Although almost 70% of the population is dependent of the primary sectors, the contribution of this sector of the GDP/NDDP is only 37.5. As a result, it does not provide sufficient income levels to the people. This subsistence nature, which leads to low incomes and unstable incomes, which in turn lead to a sizeable out-migration of male members that leads to only women headed families behind, and the role of women in the household economy becomes more important. After attaining statehood in 2000, the economic progress of Uttarakhand has been rapid, with its economic growth rate increasing from just over 3% per annum to 11% per annum. However, this rapid growth has been accompanied by adverse impacts on the local ecology, thus making the incorporation of sustainable development practices into the State’s overall development strategy an imperative. Water, agriculture, forestry and energy, among other issues, are central to the State’s inclusive strategy for future growth. Most of the people of this state are dependent on their natural environment, with over three-
