  • Per capita income (PCI) is considered a better index of economic growth. There has been more than four-fold increase in real PCI during the planning period. Growth in PCI was much less than growth in national income because of high population growth rate. The Planning Commission expects that country’s PCI would be doubled in the next 20 years.
