Abstract
Disparity in India has been persisting since independence causing many
socioeconomic problems and its removal has become the most prime objective
of the planned development in India. Hence, initial segment of the paper
deals with district wise level of development in Vidarbha region based on
socioeconomic factors and identifies the most affecting factor responsible
for Imbalance in development. As a result of this segment, “Industrial
Sector” has been taken as the prime factor responsible for such disparity
through Regression analyses. Now, In order to achieve balanced industrial
development, the later segment attempts to study district wise prospects of
development in terms of investment through Location quotient analyses and
also identifies district wise high potential local industrial clusters. The
policy guidelines aim at cluster theory for competitive microeconomic
development. The proposals mainly focus on micro-economic (firm level)
development which will help the poorer districts to grow faster.
