Question

why certain areas in India lack development give reason​

Answer 1

Answer:

Certain areas in India lack development as-

(i) Poor Per Capita (Per Head) Income:

On the basis of per capital income, India is considered as one of the poor countries in the world. The poverty and backwardness India had inherited from the British rule. In order to give ‘Big Push’ to the standstill still economy, the government adopted the technique of ‘democratic’ planning’. However, India still remains one of the most underdeveloped countries in respect of per capita income. According to World Development Report 2005, India was one of the forty-six low income countries in 2003.

In the group of low income economies eight countries had higher per capita GNP (Gross National Product) than India. In 2003 India’s Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) estimate of GNP per capita was as low as $2,880. It was 1/13th GNP per capita as compared to USA, or 1/10th GNP per capita as compared to any developed economy.

(ii) Inequality of Income and High Poverty:

In India, distribution of income and wealth is unequal. Private ownership leads to concentration of wealth in few hands. Income inequalities result from concentration of capital and wealth. According to World Development Report 2000/2001, the bottom 40% of households in India only spent 19.7 % of total household-expenditure, whereas top 20% of households shared 46% of the same.

The middle 40% only shared 34.3% of the household expenditure. The Gini Lorenz Ratio (an index of measuring inequality of income) was 0.378 in 1997 as against 0.297 in 1994.

(iii) High Dependence on Agriculture:

In India, occupational distribution is not at all up to the mark and clearly shows the economic backwardness. In 1951 about 69.7% of the total working population was engaged in primary (agricultural) sector. The figure had little improved in 1991, which was about 64.9% of total working population employed in agriculture occupation.

India is an Argo-based economy. In 2001, contribution of agriculture to the Gross Domestic Product (GNP) was 24%. This again came down to 237o recently.

(iv) Rapid Population Growth:

India is an overpopulated country. Population in India has been growing at a fast rate. According to 2001 census, the population of India is 1,025 million as against 439 million in 1961. Recently, India’s population growth rate had increased about 2.14% per year. India at present is passing through second stage of demographic transition, which is supported by decline in birth rate and falling death rate.

(v) Low Level of Human Development:

According to United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), human development can be measured in terms of Human Development Index (HDD. HDI is a composition of three basic indicators like,

(a) Life Expectancy at Birth;

(b) Educational Attainment (Adult Literacy Rate and Gross Enrolment Ratio); and

(c) Real per Capita GDP.
