Abstract (Summary of the Work)

The Five Year Plans have recognised the need to bridge the developmental disparities across the regions and have formulated strategies for accelerated development of backward are as. However, the widening disparities between a few highly developed centres and vast areas of under development only bring out the inadequacies of the plans which are yet to integrate the resources of a region to its people. This study is an attempt to understand the spatial processes and patterns of development which offer an explanation to the intra/inter-regional contrasts in development. The study while high-lighting the importance of the Spatial approach has, in a limited way, attempted to bring out the shortcomings in the existing development strategies.I thank the Indian Statistical Institute for enrolling me as a Research Scholar and providing me an opportunity to carry out this work.
