Coverage

All 36 States and Union Territories, fourth edition, ranked nationally.

Limitations

NITI Aayog compares States within categories, Large States against each other and Small States, NE and UTs against each other, and its Leaders, Challengers and Aspirers labels are assigned inside those categories. The national ordinal stored here is the report's own overall rank, which cuts across those categories. Indicators were revised for this edition, so it is not comparable with earlier ones.
