Ravi  aCentre-state transfer of resources: the population factor  c2002  ap.3406-409.  a17 Aug  aThe strategy of freezing the population factor to 1971 levels in deciding Finance Commission awards has been successful in denying states with higher rates of growth of population the benefit of a larger proportion of resources.  The penalised states, however, include most of the least developed regions of India.  Moreover, this policy dilutes the importance of the population as an indicator of the needs of a state; it also lacks an explicit mechanism to encourage states to curb high rates of growth of population. - Reproduced.  aPopulation  aCentre state relations  aVemuri, Murali Dhar  aEconomic and Political Weekly  a53312  c53312d53312  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 37, Issue no: 33pAR53749r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
