NITI Aayog release ranking of most backward districts -- 11 out of 20 are muslim concentrated -Mumtaz Alam

NEW DELHI: The Niti Aayog, new avatar of the erstwhile Planning Commission, has released a ranking of 101 most underdeveloped districts in the country. Mewat, a Muslim-dominated district hardly two-hour drive from the national capital, is country’s most backward district.

The Aayog on Wednesday released a baseline ranking of 101 districts on the basis of 49 indicators across five sectors – Health and Nutrition (30% weightage), Education (30%), Agriculture and Water Resources (20%), Financial Inclusion and Skill Development (10%), and Basic Infrastructure (10%).

In the composite ranking covering all five sectors, Mewat in Haryana stands at the bottom with just 26.02% score. Interestingly, Mewat is adjacent to glittering Gurgaon district (recently renamed as Gurugram), one of the leading hubs of MNCs in the country.

Mewat is not alone. In the top 10 from bottom, there are four more Muslim-concentrated districts – all from Uttar Pradesh.

In the list of 20 most backward districts in the country, there are 11 Muslim-concentration districts (written in bold in the list below) including 3 from Bihar and 2 from Assam, besides 4 from UP.
