• Western states: Maharashtra and Gujarat performed well.
• Gujarat showed rapid growth from the start of the millennium.
• Northern states: Delhi and Haryana performed exceptionally well.
• Punjab’s performance consistently declined post-Green Revolution, possibly due to excessive focus on agriculture.
