UPSC 1999: Consider the following statements: Regional disparities in India are high and have been rising in recent years because 1. there is persistent investment over time only in select locales. 2. some areas are agro-climatically less conducive to development. 3. some areas continue to face little or no agrarian transformation and the consequent lack of social and economic opportunities. 4. some areas have faced continuous political instability. Which of the above statements are correct?
(a)1, 2 and 3
(b)1, 3 and 4
(c)2, 3 and 4
(d)1, 2 and 4
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1, 2 and 3
Rising regional disparities are mainly attributed to: (1) investments repeatedly favouring a few growth centres, (2) agro-climatic handicaps in some regions, and (3) areas that have seen little agrarian transformation limiting socio-economic opportunities; political instability is not considered a pervasive, nationwide explanatory factor. Hence statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct.
