The states Maharashtra and Gujarat are both very similar places. They are at the top of Indias production and are seeing a steady growth in commerce. Together they provide 46% of the countrys export/import. It is the little details that set these states apart, such as their level of urbanization and population. While Maharashtras economic focus is in relation to their agriculture, the brunt of its labor force, Gujarat is trying to advance their infrastructure while maintaining growth in development. Another point that these two growing nations share ground on is their push to help those in poverty. Both are under the poverty line although Maharashtra has its component beat by 25% to 31%. Because these countries are producing so many important items for India it would only make sense that their main levels of higher and secondary education consist of agriculture and business. Although both states are seemingly booming, their labor force has not shown much progress in terms of education needed in certain fields. All in all both unions are doing well for India with only a slight difference in how they work and produce.
