Explanation:

1. State per Capital Income as an Indicator of Regional Imbalance:

The most important indicator of regional imbalance and disparity among the different states of India is the difference in per capita state income figures. It is revealed from Table 6.8 that in 2000-01, the national average per capita income in India was Rs. 10,254. The states whose per capita income figures were higher than this national average include Punjab, Goa, Haryana, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

2. Inter-State Disparities in Agricultural and Industrial Development:

Another important indicator of regional disparities is the differences in the levels of agricultural and industrial development between different states of the country. In India, states like Punjab, Haryana- and part of Uttar Pradesh had recorded a high rate agricultural productivity due to its high proportion of irrigated areas and higher level of fertilizer use.

3. Population below Poverty Line:

Percentage of population living below the poverty line in different states is another important indicator of regional imbalance or disparities. Table 6.8 shows that the percentage of population living below the poverty line for the whole country was 26 per cent in 1999-2000 and there were 12 states whose percentage of population living below the poverty line have exceeded this all-India average.
