Abstract
This paper examines the extent
and magnitude of regional disparities
in the industrial
economy from 1980-81 (pre-reforms)
to 2009-10 (post-reforms)
using discriminant function approach.
Results indicated that
huge disparities in industrial
development still exist. Inclusion
of some states in the list of developed
ones in the recent past
hints at amiable conditions for
the industrialization of any state
in the country provided state
governments frame proper industrial
policies. Further, productivity
measures along with the
physical measures turned out to
be the factors responsible for
regional imbalances during post
reforms period instead of productivity
and profitability measures
during the pre-reforms period.
