Regional inequalities refer to a condition when the standard of living is considered unbalanced in different parts of a given area. Regional inequalities are a worldwide phenomenon; it is a common fact in both developed and developing economies. Though India is one of the world's fastest-growing economies, it also has one of the most unequal societies. Over the past few decades, inequality has been steadily increasing, and the wealth produced by crony capitalism and inheritance has been concentrated among the wealthiest. They are becoming wealthier at a much quicker rate, while the poor continue to struggle to earn a living income and have access to excellent education and healthcare facilities, which are still underfunded. Every individual is being affected by these expanding disparities and rising inequities. The book aims to have a clear picture of regional disparities and social sector development in India as well as special emphasis on health and education, covering the meaning, elements, issues, measures, and suggestions for the same. The novelty of the book lies in its rich analytical foundation and the use of sophisticated statistical and economic tools to determine the causes of disparities between Indian states. The book brings together a number of interesting research papers on the burning issues of regional disparities and social sector development in India. The editors include eminent experts in the field from the academic and other worlds as well as young researchers. The papers touch upon many important general and specific aspects of the problem such as the need for regional planning, infrastructure and social sector etc.
