The correct answer is (a) Himachal Pradesh.
Himachal Pradesh is the first state in India to use Gross Environment Product (GEP) in its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) calculation. GEP is a measure of the value of all the goods and services produced by a country, including the value of the country’s natural resources. GDP is a measure of the value of all the goods and services produced by a country, excluding the value of the country’s natural resources.
Himachal Pradesh is a mountainous state in northern India. It is known for its beautiful scenery, its rich biodiversity, and its sustainable development practices. The state government has been working to promote sustainable development for many years, and the use of GEP in GDP calculation is one of the latest initiatives in this regard.
The use of GEP in GDP calculation is a significant step forward for Himachal Pradesh. It will help the state to better understand the value of its natural resources and to make more informed decisions about how to manage them. It will also help the state to attract investment from businesses that are looking for a sustainable environment in which to operate.
The use of GEP in GDP calculation is not without its challenges. One challenge is that it is difficult to accurately measure the value of natural resources. Another challenge is that it can be difficult to get businesses to agree to use GEP in their decision-making. However, the state government of Himachal Pradesh is committed to overcoming these challenges and to using GEP as a tool for sustainable development.
The other options are incorrect because they are not the first state in India to use Gross Environment Product in its Gross Domestic Product calculation.
