District Domestic Product compilation and its uses

What is DDP?

• District Domestic Product (DDP) represents the sum of economic value of all goods and services produced within the geographical boundary of the district.

Why DDP compilation is essential? • All Developing or developed country uses the

DDP to know the current development status.• To know the economic status of the area,

taluk, district, state or even economic status of the country

• The district income estimates assumes much importance as an indicator of development in decentralised planning.

Advantages of compiling DDP

• Shows the sector wise development of taluka’s or a district.

• Differentiate the economic development between taluka’s or a district.

• Helps to Prepare an Human Development Report.

• Helps to prepare the development plans at taluk level.

Method of compiling Gross Domestic Product estimates

The methodology for compiling the estimates of GDP consists in dividing the whole economy into three sectors.

• Primary Sector: 1. Agriculture (including Livestock). 2. Forestry and Logging. 3. Fishing. 4. Mining and Quarrying.


• Secondary Sector: 5. Manufacturing a) Registered b)Un-registered.

6. Construction 7. Electricity, Gas and Water Supply


• Tertiary Sector: 8. Transport, Storage and Communication a) Railways b) Transport by other means c) Storage d) Communication

9. Trade, Hotels and Restaurants 10. Banking and Insurance 11. Real Estate, Ownership of Dwellings and Business Services including legal services 12. Public Administrations 13. Other Services.


GDDP Compilation worked out in any one or more of the following three methods.

i) Production approach: This approach is applied on sectors such

as Agriculture (including Livestock), Forestry and Logging, Fishing, Mining and Quarrying, Manufacturing (Registered).


ii) Income approach: This approach is applied on sectors such

as… Manufacturing(unregistered), Electricity, Gas and Water Supply, Transport, Storage and Communication, Trade, Hotels and Restaurants, Banking and Insurance, Real Estate, Ownership of Dwellings and Business Services, including legal services, Public Administration, Other Services.


iii) Expenditure approach: This Approach used in construction sector.

At present all the three methods are followed to compute District Domestic Product.

Source of data for compiling district domestic product

Agriculture Area, Yield, Production and Prices are used to find the

output value of the crops in agriculture sector.• District Statistic Office: Supplies the data such as

Area, Yield and Production for several crops.• APMC: Supplies price to compile the output value for

all crops.• Horticulture Department: Supplies Area, Yield and

Production for Vegetable and Fruits crops. • DC Office: Supplies Irrigation charges.


Data Limitation in Agriculture• Area: In spite of best efforts, Area records

have not been updating in all three season• Area reconciliation at the village level not

done properly by the concerned department.• Crops which are grown in forest area,

government land or canal are not reflected properly in the records.


Data Limitation in Agriculture Mixed Farming: Mixed farming is mainly found in

the horticulture sector and some major crops in agriculture, where combination of the crop will be grown.

• Estimation will be limited for the major crops in which minor crop area not properly reflected.

• Example: The plantation crops such as coconut, arecanut, banana etc found near each home stud land, stray fruit trees found, normally in estate, forest area and bund area are not at all reflected which contribute sizable share.


Data Limitation in Agriculture Yield: Yield estimation has been under estimated

due to insurance claim.Yield estimation is not been conducted

statistically for horticulture crops by horticulture department.

Price: The District DDP suffered with local market prices. The District level DDP compilation is processed based on district market prices, if district price not found then state price has been allocated on several crops.


Livestock District Animal Husbandry: Price and

Production of the livestock are supplied by District Animal Husbandry, It contain the data on Milk, Egg, Meat, Wool and other livestock products using livestock census results.


Data Limitation in Livestock• For the interceptional years, estimation has

been attempted by extrapolating the data on the basis of observed growth rates between the last two censuses.

• Accurate production data on byproducts is not available, By comparing state figures variation is found in the taluk-wise production as well as taluk-wise price of the live stock products.


Forestry and LoggingDistrict Forest Department: Supplies Taluk-wise

Price and Production for forest products.Fishing

District Fisheries Department: Supplies Taluk-wise Price and Production for fish products.

Mining and QuarryingMines and Geology Department: Supplies Taluk-

wise Price and Production based on the royalty.


Construction PRI’s and ULB’s: Supplies Taluk-wise workforce

engaged in public sector and taluk-wise expenditure.

Data Limitation in Construction• limitation of data on private construction. • observation on development in district shows the

major participation of the private sector, but due to unavailability of data on private construction actually under estimated the District Domestic Product.


Manufacturing ( registered and unregistered)Industries and commerce department: Supplies

Talukwise workforce engaged in industrial sectors.Electricity, Gas and Water Supply

CLB’s Web Application: CLB’s web application and district at a glance (DAG) have been used .

TransportDistrict Statistic Office: District at a Glance data have

been used.


CommunicationBSNL Office: Supplies Taluk-wise workforce engaged

in BSNL sector. Data Limitation in Communication

• Compilation process has not been affected on private sector where the major communication activities has been found.

• Such as broadband communication, Postal communication, Media communication, 2nd Generation or even 3rd Generation communication have made revolutions in communication sector.


Banking and Insurance District Employment Office: Supplied Taluk-wise workforce

engaged in Banking sector..LIC of India: Supplies Taluk-wise workforce engaged in

Insurance sector. Data Limitation in Banking and Insurance

Data not available in the private sector who are engaged in both Banking and Insurance .

Legal servicesDistrict Bar Association: Supplies Taluk-wise workforce

engaged in Legal services.


HealthDistrict Health Office: : Supplies Taluk-wise

workforce engaged in Health services.Data Limitation in Health Services

• Data does not available for the private heath services find in the district

SanitationCLB’s Web Application : Workforce engaged in

sanitation in public sector has been accessed by the web application

Data base problem and what has to be done to overcome this Problem?

Primary Sector • Area Reconciliation at village level need to do

properly.• Enumerators have to be appointed at least in the

hobli level.• The area estimation on all season should be done

properly for all crops including mixed crops.• Village accountant should be supplied with

updated revenue village map.


Primary Sector • Horticulture census needs be held along with

agriculture census in every five years.• Especially for most of the horticultural crops yield

estimates are not available at district level, some methodology must adopt to get yield estimate at district level.

• Need to build an accurate system to get local market prices for all crops and products in the district.


Secondary Sector& Tertiary Sector• Special effort has to carry out to get an

accurate and reliable data.• Private database need to be build in

construction, communication, transport and other sector by initiating a special program at regional level.
