India's Planning Commission prepares State Development Reports (SDR's) for all States and Union Territories of India. The SDR is meant to discuss constraints and challenges, provide a vision, and a blueprint or a roadmap for socio-economic progress. The report is expected to serve as a useful reference and stimulate informed debate on the policy issues facing the most populous state in India. The Uttar Pradesh Development Report reviews the region's latent potential in irrigation, power, transport, agriculture, and tourism.
