Standing of Karnataka cities in deposit & credit base: RBI Report

So the rankings on deposit for our state are

1. Bangalore
2. Mangalore
3. Mysore
4. Hubli/Dharwad
5. Belgaum
6. Udupi
7. Bellary

So where do the mining lords bank their cash!? Didn't you expect Bellary to rank higher than that?

Also, Udupi and Mangalore, but no Karwar. Perhaps tells you something about North Coastal region of Karnataka.

 

distribution of population in ka. MAQ, MYS, HBL account for small populations. Only blr has 7 mil population. rest all < 1 mil population. Only reason Mys qualified for JNNURM because of heritage tag.(only cities >1 mil eligible for NURM). otherwise Hubballi-Dwd bigger than MYS. blr pop is about 15 times maq pop. deposits 17 times. fairly reasonable. infact MAQ punching way above.

Karnataka annual plan fixed at Rs 26,000 cr http://www.hinduonnet.com... New Delhi (PTI): Karnataka's annual plan size for 2008-09 has been fixed at Rs 25,952.53 crore which include an additional Rs 100 crore-central assistance for projects of special interest of the state. The annual plan size was agreed on Tuesday at a meeting between the state Chief Minister Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia after a review of the financial performance. "This is the third highest plan size after Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh," the Chief Minister said after the meeting. While pointing out that the state's tax to Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) ratio was among the highest in the country, Ahluwalia said, "efforts should be made to improve infrastructure through public private partnership." Asking the state to address problems in the health sector, he said, incidence of anemia and malnutrition was high in Karnataka. Briefing the Commission about the steps being taken by Karnataka to encourage growth and development, Yediyurappa said, "state intends to achieve a growth rate of nine per cent during the Eleventh Plan." He further said that Karnataka has been able to restrict fiscal deficit to less than three per cent of GSDP and has been achieving revenue surpluses every year since 2004-05. Karnataka Chief Minister also demanded "inclusion of Cauvery basin irrigation projects in the Prime Minister's package for distressed farmers without inciting on clearance from Cauvery Tribunal." Between 1994 and 2004, the manufacturing and service sectors grew at 7.50 per cent and 10.61 per cent respectively, while the growth in the primary sector regressed to 0.6 per cent per annum. The state, he said, would try to achieve a growth of over four per cent in primary sector.
