A Study of Inter–State Disparities in India

Dr. Ashok Pawar

Abstract :

India is facing the problem of acute regional imbalances and the indicators of such imbalances are reflected by the factors like per–capita income, the proportion of population living below the poverty line. The percentage of urban population of total population, percentage of working population engaged in agriculture. The percentage of working population engaged in industries, infra–structural development etc. In India, regional imbalance has been one of the major concerns before policy makers and planners. There has been a huge gap between active and viant regions and hinterland during pre–independence period in terms of availability of facilities and this has resulted in the form of unequal levels of development both in terms of economic and human. After independence, reduction in Inter–state disparities has been emphasized during successive Five year plans, but the mence continued unabated.
