Rajasthan in recent years has witnessed spectacular growth across sectors leading to all-round social and economic development. The State's economy grew by 8% last year.

While agriculture continues to be the backbone of the State in terms of economic activity, the State's vibrant services sector is the highest contributor to the NSDP accounting for 42.89% of Net State Domestic Product (NSDP) at constant prices in 2006-07. While mining and manufacturing sectors have witnessed considerable growth, construction activity has seen a major spurt. At constant prices, construction sector registered a growth of over 75%, from Rs.8,377 crore in 2002-03 to Rs.14,688 crore in 2006-07.
The main objective of the Government has been to ensure that while sustaining higher rates of economic growth, the improved performance of the economy contributes to employment generation, poverty reduction and human development.
