| | The Tamil Nadu picture |
 | | If one takes a look at the 1991 CSRs of the districts of Chengai (now, Tiruvallur and Kancheepuram), Viluppuram (now, Viluppuram and Cuddalore) and Tiruchirapalli (now, Karur, Perambalur, Ariyalur and Tiruchirapalli), and the CSRs in 2001 of the new districts carved out of them, this becomes evident. |
 | | In all the cases, the CSR of each one of the newly constituted districts in 2001 is lower than that in 1991 of the district out of which it was carved. |
 | | The decline in CSRs is more widespread than it may appear at first sight. |
