Assam
How Assam earns, spends, works, borrows, learns, falls ill and warms, set against India and its neighbours, in 128 figures from 76 official tables. Each figure carries its own year: states publish on different timetables.
Where Assam stands
Each row puts every state and union territory with a figure for the same period on one line, lowest on the left and highest on the right. Assam is the blue dot; India, where the source gives an all-India figure for that period, is the gold tick. Rows read on their own scales: a dot near the right of one row and the left of another says where Assam ranks, not how big the numbers are.
Assam among the states and union territories
Income and growth
State domestic product is everything produced inside the state in a year. Divided by the people who live there, it is the nearest thing to an average income each state publishes, though it measures production, not what people take home. Every figure here is on MoSPI's 2011-12 base.
In Assam, income per person was ₹1,59,185 in 2024-25, 25th of the 32 states and union territories with figures for 2024-25, counted from the highest. That is about ₹436 a day for each person, before anyone pays for food, rent or school, and before it is split, very unequally, between wages, profits and taxes.
In Assam, the economy's real growth (GSDP at constant prices) was 7.8% in 2024-25, near the middle of the 32 states and union territories with figures for 2024-25 (13th counted from the highest). The all-India figure was 6.5%.
In Assam, gross state domestic product (GSDP), the size of the economy was ₹6.44 lakh crore in 2024-25, near the middle of the 32 states and union territories with figures for 2024-25 (17th counted from the highest).

Prices
Retail inflation on the 2024 base of the Consumer Price Index, which began in January 2026: how much more the same basket of goods and services cost than a year earlier. Each state has its own basket, so a state's index and the all-India index weigh items differently.
In Assam, retail inflation (prices against a year earlier) was 4.8% in August 2026, near the middle of the 36 states and union territories with figures for August 2026 (13th counted from the highest). The all-India figure was 4.8%. Something that cost ₹100 a year earlier cost about ₹105 in August 2026, on the average shopping basket of Assam.

Education
Schools from UDISE+, the Ministry of Education's census of every school, as MoSPI serves it (2018-19 to 2024-25); college enrolment from the All India Survey on Higher Education (2021-22). A gross enrolment ratio counts every enrolled student, of any age, against the population of the official age group, so it can pass 100.

State finances
The state government's own accounts, from the RBI's Handbook, set against the state's GSDP as the states guide computes it, with what it pays to borrow and how often it ran short of cash with the RBI, from the RBI's weekly and monthly tables. Actual accounts run two years behind; budget and revised estimates are left out.
In Assam, outstanding liabilities at the end of March, as a share of GSDP was 26.6% in 2022-23, 25th of the 31 states and union territories with figures for 2022-23, counted from the highest.
In Assam, the gross fiscal deficit, as a share of the state's GSDP was 5.9% in 2022-23, 4th highest of 31 states and union territories with figures for 2022-23.
In Assam, interest payments as a share of revenue spending was 6.8% in 2022-23, 5th lowest of 31 states and union territories with figures for 2022-23. The all-India figure was 12.3%.
In Assam, the cut-off yield on the state's market loans, weighted by amount raised was 7.35% a year in 2025-26, near the middle of the 31 states and union territories with figures for 2025-26 (17th counted from the highest). The all-India figure was 7.32% a year.

10,228 series across 16 guides name Assam. Each guide explains its measure in full, and its every-cut table holds every series. The figures above link to their own rows. The whole list, with each series' latest value and a link to its row, is one download: assam.csv.
How to read this profile
Every number on this page is copied from an official table, or worked out from one in a way the page names (a share, a growth rate, an average). Nothing is estimated or filled in. Where a source has no figure for Assam, the page says so.
States report at different lags. MoSPI's newest year of state accounts comes from a few states first, so each figure is ranked at its comparison period, the latest that at least three in four units have published, and the newer estimate is given beside it. A rank counts only the units with a figure for that period, and says how many.
Figures from different sources are different rulers. The 2012 and 2024 bases of the Consumer Price Index, the two designs of the labour force survey, and the rounds of the family health survey are never joined into one series. Boundaries change too: Andhra Pradesh and Telangana split in June 2014; Jammu and Kashmir became two union territories in October 2019; Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu merged in January 2020. A figure for a unit before its change appears only under that unit's own name.
How to misread a state profile
- 1
"Income per person is what a typical person earns."
It is what is produced in the state, divided by everyone who lives there. Profits of companies based elsewhere count where the plant stands; money sent home by people working in other states counts where they work. Spending per person, from the household survey, is closer to how a household lives.
- 2
"It ranks 10th, so it is in the middle."
Check out of how many. Some tables cover 36 units, some 19. A rank says nothing about the distance to the next state; the row in the first chart shows it.
- 3
"This figure is from this year."
Each figure carries its own period, printed beside it. A family health survey figure, a college enrolment ratio and a state's accounts each come from a different year, and the newest of them can be years apart. Two figures side by side may not describe the same year.
- 4
"A low credit-deposit ratio means banks are not lending."
Loans are counted where they are sanctioned. A company with plants in one state may borrow in Mumbai; a farmer's crop loan stays local. A low ratio says that much of the money saved in the state is lent elsewhere.
- 5
"The state's weather station says otherwise."
The climate figures are averages over the whole area of the state, from a reconstruction of past weather, not readings at one station. A city can be warmer or wetter than its state's average.
