The India Data & Regional Comparison Hub provides direct empirical comparisons between Odisha’s socio-economic metrics and broader national trends across India. This platform tracks macro metrics including GDP/GSDP growth, inflation, human development indexes, and female labor force participation rates.*

Domain-Wise National Benchmarking

Use-Cases for Researchers and Journalists

• • Policy Evaluation: Assessing whether state-level interventions perform above or below national averages.

  • Media Reporting: Quick, verified visual charts for journalists covering eastern India’s growth dynamics.
