Indical – India District Income Calculator

Indical is a user friendly and interactive product to calculate the district income, store the data, generate reports, and carry out spatial analysis. This pioneering product was conceived and developed by Spatial Data Pvt Ltd, in close collaboration with the Centre for Budget and Policy Studies, Bangalore.

The four main modules of the product are District Product, District Income, Reports, and Map. A summary on each module is given below.

DISTRICT PRODUCT

This module will start the step by step methodology for calculating value added by commodity producing sectors. Gross value added by both primary and secondary sectors is estimated.

DISTRICT INCOME

This module is utilised to calculate the total income generated by a district. District Income is the sum of value added by the commodity producing sector (District Product) and the district share of the service sector or non-commodity producing sectors. Calculation of District Product precedes the calculation of District Income.

MAP

This module launches the district map of India to spatially analyze district product and district income for various districts. Estimation of annual district income is a prerequisite for doing map based analysis and reports.

REPORTS

This module helps to generate customized district level reports. Consolidated and detailed reports can be generated.
