Uttarakhand attained the status of the 27th state of the Republic of India to secure its independent pursuit of growth and development. This article identifies the dimensions and defines some measures and parameters of inclusive growth for a state in a federation. It examines the growth profile and outcomes for Uttarakhand: It finds empirical evidence of a growth process which is inclusive with respect to the national mainstream. However, the socio-economic and regional profiles of development outcomes by rural and urban sectors do not show such a comforting scenario for the process within the state. The state has a long way to go in pursuit of an inclusive growth process within.
