Current Baseline
Understanding the ground reality — economy, employment, inclusion, and environment.
Lok Sabha’s economy is primarily service-led, with agriculture also playing a significant role. Manufacturing remains minimal. Per capita GDP is well below state and national averages, and economic growth has averaged 5.7% over the past decade. Non-farm employment is estimated at ~300,000, with significant underemployment, particularly agricultural sectors. Women’s participation in the workforce is notably low, highlighting the need for inclusive, decentralized growth. Environmentally, the region has valuable green zones and water bodies that must be protected, with a strong emphasis on sustainable urban and industrial development.
