<br/><br/> India's successive Five Year Plans have stressed the need to develop backward regions of the country. In promoting regional balanced development, public sector enterprises were located in backward areas of the country during the early phase of economic planning. In spite of pro-backward areas policies and programmes, considerable economic and social inequalities exist among different states of India, as reflected in differences in per capita state domestic product. While income growth performance has diverged, there is welcome evidence of some convergence in education and health indicators across the states. (http://www.vedamsbooks.in/no89770.htm)
