The present paper is an attempt to measure the industrial regional disparities in Haryana over the period of 1990-91 to 2010-11. The extent of inter-districts industrial disparities has been measured by using deprivation method as well as Principal component analysis (PCA) method. The analysis provided interesting insight into the issue. The study found that the regional disparities in the industrial development in the state of Haryana are increasing over time. It is evidenced by increasing value of coefficient of variation of the constructed indices by DIM as well as PCA Method. Further, developed and moderately developed category values of indices indicate that major industrial development in the state is concentrating on or near NH1 or in NCR regions. This proves the unbalanced industrial development in the state and is a serious issue of concern and requires immediate attention of policy makers.

Abstract


The present paper is an attempt to measure the industrial regional disparities in Haryana over the period of 1990-91 to 2010-11. The extent of inter-districts industrial disparities has been measured by using deprivation method as well as Principal component analysis (PCA) method. The analysis provided interesting insight into the issue. The study found that the regional disparities in the industrial development in the state of Haryana are increasing over time. It is evidenced by increasing value of coefficient of variation of the constructed indices by DIM as well as PCA Method. Further, developed and moderately developed category values of indices indicate that major industrial development in the state is concentrating on or near NH1 or in NCR regions. This proves the unbalanced industrial development in the state and is a serious issue of concern and requires immediate attention of policy makers.
