I am not an economist, but I would take such quick estimates with a pinch of salt. Growth for 2000-2001 is now pegged at 4%, when preliminary estimates claimed growth rate of 5.4%. (National Sample Survey carried out in 1997 claimed that literacy had gone up to 67%, but Census 2001 shows literacy at 62%.) I don't know what 2001-2002 growth will ultimately look like, particularly since so much depends on the growth in agriculture.
