Abstract

A growth path which is both economically as well as socially equitable is desirable to achieve a paradigm of balanced and inclusive development. This chapter focuses the level of regional development across the states of India over a period of more than 30 years to identify the grim areas which requires immediate public-private interventions for achieving a balanced and sustainable development. The development disparity across the states of India has been examined from three interdependent angles; disparity in the level of income, in the level of human development and in the achievements of agricultural development. This chapter provides the objectives, data sources and various methodologies adopted in this study. It analyses the methodological issues like growth analysis, statistical measures of inequality and polarizations, analysis of convergence, methodologies like panel data analysis-fixed effect method and Generalised method of moments, time series analysis like unit root test, ordered probit analysis etc.
