.. Regional imbalance is the disparity in economic and social development of two regions. One region/city/area is stronger than another region/city/area.
Regions develop when investments are made to set up industries, service sectors, educational institutions, health care facilities etc. In India after liberalization, the role of private sector has increased in investment decisions. Naturally, the investments will flow in regions which are favorable to return maximum return on investments. This rules out the possibility of investments in poorly connected and geographically separated regions (for example mountains), and regions with hostile political environment. The maximum share in gained by the regions which have adequate physical and social infrastructure and a conducive environment.
This results in development of one region as compared to the other region. Some consequences of this imbalanced development are:
1. Migration: Migration from economically backward area towards economic strongholds. Foe example the rural-urban migration. Cities are more prosperous as compared to rural areas, providing better quality of life and more sources of income.
2. Social unrest- Differences in prosperity and development leads to friction between different sections of the society causing social unrest. For example Naxalism. Naxalites in India function in areas which have been neglected for long for development purposes/economic prosperity.
3. Aggregation of the imbalance: Once an area is prosperous and has adequate infrastructure for development, more investments pour-in neglecting the less developed regions. So an area which is already prosperous, develops further. For examples- the rate of growth of the four metropolitan cities, as compared to other metro cities is still higher. hope it helps u dear☺

Regional Imbalance is a circumstance in which economically advanced and underdeveloped areas or regions co-exist in the corresponding nation. This is producing a commercial inequality in our nation, this condition is described as Regional Imbalances.
Regional imbalances or variations indicate extensive variations in per capita income, education rates, fitness and education assistance, levels of industrialization, etc. among different domains. The planning in autonomous India has also not been able to eliminate these variations.
