We discuss regional disparities in economic performance and living standards. We first set out some key facts, and provide a conceptual framework to help analyze whether such disparities are efficient, or instead reflect market and/or policy failures. We examine whether policy attempts to reduce regional disparities necessarily involve a trade-off between equity and efficiency. We then investigate whether policymakers should focus on boosting the economic performance of lagging regions—or, conversely, accept the presence of regional disparities, and instead assist households in lagging regions through transfer payments, investments in education, health, and other basic services, and by facilitating out-migration.

Regional imbalances in a country may be natural due to unequal distribution of natural resources and/or man-made in the sense of neglect of some regions and preference for others for investment and infrastructural facilities. India's successive Five Year Plans have stressed the need to develop backward regions of the country. In promoting regional balanced development, public sector enterprises were located in backward areas of the country during the early phase of economic planning. In spite of pro-backward areas policies and programmes, considerable economic and social inequalities exist among different States of India, as reflected in differences in per capita State Domestic Product. While income growth performance has diverged, there is welcome evidence of some convergence in education and health indicators across the states. This book contains 14 research papers authored by experts on the subject. They provide deep insights into the various dimensions of inter-state and intra-state economic and social inequalities in India.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the inter-state and inter-regional disparities in poverty incidence and levels of living in the rural and urban sectors of India. In this paper, we propose to analyse regional disparities using a more disaggregated data. It is known that there are significant variations in the agro-climatic conditions within the states. Therefore, a more disaggregated analysis of NSS region-wise indicators would be worth trying. In this paper we investigate whether regional disparities are also present in the incidence of poverty and, in consumption levels of the population. In this paper we look at the disparities across states and also in the rural and urban sectors of states. Next, we consider the regions within a state, and also the rural and urban sectors within each NSS region. Specifically, we concentrate on two sets of variables; average per capita consumption of the households and the poverty measures of the population in the geographical unit of interest.
