Answer:
India in the world's
second largest populous country and seventh largest in terms of the area. In spite
of dedicated attempts to reduce the regional disparity, there are certain
regional imbalances in the country.
Regional imbalance means that some areas are economically advanced and
some areas are backward.
The Eastern and Southern regions in India have remained
comparatively less developed than the Western and the Northern regions. There
is also the difference in the income levels in urban and rural areas.
The regional imbalance can be attributed partly due to the
British policies. Their policy of export promotion led to the development of
the coastal areas leaving the interstate areas relatively less developed.
Further the availability of natural resources in different
states and the lack of infrastructural facilities like roads and communication
facility also contributed to the regional imbalance.
