“…(Shahi, 2012). Misra (2013), disclosed that India hopes to change itself from a lower middleincome country to a developed one, utilizing its demographic dividend, wider domestic trade, and democratic governance system. This alteration is possible if the growth capacity of the states is harnessed.…”

This paper examines the role of the media in portraying infrastructure projects in rural areas of Sindh, Pakistan. In development projects, media play an important role to develop any society. How Pakistani print media promote infrastructure development of the rural areas of Sindh through content and how print media tackling the developmental projects. For this purpose, two leading newspapers-Daily DAWN (English) and Daily EXPRESS (Urdu) were selected as sample. The study employed content analysis-a quantitative research methodology of news published in Daily Dawn and Daily Express during a period of three months i.e. from January 2017 to March 2017. The findings of the study depict that Daily Dawn gives more coverage/space to Physical Infrastructure Development of Rural Areas of Sindh but more space needs to be allocated to infrastructural development issues.

“…Specifically, the Tenth Five Year Plan (2002–2007) introduced a key initiative, ‘Rashtriya Sam Vikas Yojana’ (RSVY). The Backward Districts Initiative under the RSVY identified 147 most backward districts spread across different states to augment agricultural productivity, reduce unemployment and improve physical and social infrastructure (Misra, 2013). The backward districts were determined based on an objective criterion.…”

This paper tests for income convergence at the district level in India taking into account district income for 388 districts in 12 states during 2001–2011. We study income convergence among districts within a state as well districts across states that share similar initial conditions. Given the finite sample property of the data, we conduct a novel panel stationarity test with a fixed time dimension. The findings do not support the convergence of the per capita district income in Indian states. The deterioration in economic and social infrastructure in the relatively backward districts during the study period seems to drive the results. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…India aspires to transform itself from a lower middle income country to a developed one, making use of its demographic dividend, huge domestic market, and democratic governance system (Misra, ). This transformation will be possible if the growth potential of the states is harnessed.…”

“…The GCS accounts for the bulk of the population and output in India. During 2005–2008, the GCS accounted for 90% of the combined state domestic product (SDP) and 92% of the combined population of all the states, while the SCS accounted for 5.7% and 6.1%, respectively (Misra ). Most studies at the state level in India ignore the SCS because they account for a very small share in both output and population.…”

“…Most studies at the state level in India ignore the SCS because they account for a very small share in both output and population. As the SCS share some commonality and receive additional fiscal support, we treat them as a homogeneous group and study the infrastructure–growth relationship separately for the GCS and SCS (Misra ). It is also better to consider the GCS and SCS separately so as to discern policies appropriate to them.…”

This paper studies the relationship between infrastructure and output in 28 Indian states divided into general and special categories for the period 2001–2010. It develops a composite infrastructure index for each state in each category by considering both economic and social dimensions. We find that infrastructure only influences output in general category states. Among the different kinds of infrastructures, the social variant has a greater impact on output than the economic. Interestingly, we also find that, for both categories of states, output influences infrastructure more than infrastructure influences output. Causality analysis reveals unidirectional causality from output to infrastructure and from social infrastructure to economic infrastructure. No evidence of a statistically significant impact of infrastructure or any of its variants on output for the special category states was found. These findings question the effectiveness of additional funds provided for the development of special category states.
