14. SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS

Summary

The study deals with the evaluation of social, agricultural and industrial

development and overall socio-economic development at district level in the state of

Uttar Pradesh. The state is predominantly rural and agrarian. The study throws light on

the association of social, agriculture and industrial sectors with soico-economic

development. The specific objectives of the study are as follows:

1. To analyze the exist ing levels of socio-economic development in

the region.

2. To examine spatial distribution of socio -economic development

in relation to their correlates.

3. Determination of levels of development at district levels on the

basis of socio-economic development of the region.

4. To suggest a suitable strategy for accelerating the overall

development of the region

The level of socio-economic development among the districts of Uttar Pradesh is

obtained with the help of composite index based on optimum combination of sixteen

socio-economic indicators. The district wise data in respect of sixteen indicators were

used for seventy districts of the State. The data on most of the indicators were for the

year 2001. The level of development is obtained separately for social, agricultural and

industrial development. The district of G.B.Nagar is ranked first and the district of Sant

Kabirnagar is ranked last in the level of socio-economic development in the State. Wide

disparities are obtained in the level of development among different regions of the state.

Western Uttar Pradesh and Central Uttar Pradesh region are found to be better developed

and region of Bundelkhand and Eastern Uttar Pradesh are less developed. The intra

district disparities also found in the socio-economic development of the study area. The

socio-economic development is positively associated with the growth and progress of

agricultural development and infrastructural facilities. The level of education, provision

of health services, banking facilities and transport systems did not significantly influence

the agricultural development in the State.

Major Findings and Conclusion

The broad conclusions emerging from the study are as follows:

1. With respect to overall socio-economic development, the districts of G.B.Nagar,

Ghaziabad, Sonbhadhra, J.P.Nagar, Kanpur Nagar, Lucknow Muzaffarnagar, Bulandshahr,

Mathura, Kanpur Dehat, Lalitpur, Agra, Mainpuri, Barabanki and Moradabad are found to be

better developed as compared to the remaining districts of the state. Most of the districts

belong to Western Uttar Pradesh and Central Uttar Pradesh. Similarly the districts of Sant Kabir

Nagar, Kushinagar, Sidharthnagar, Gonda, Maharajganj, Sharawasti, Bahraich, Balrampur, Sant

Ravidasnagar, Gorakhpur, Ambedkarnagar, Mirzapur, Azamgarh, Jaunpur and Deoria are very

low developed. All of these districts belong to Eastern Uttar Pradesh. The levels of development

in the rest of the districts are of middle or low order but most of the districts having tendency to

make improvement in the pattern of development.

2. Nine districts namely Sonbhadra, Jalaun, Lalitpur, Hamirpur, G.B.Nagaar, Jhansi,

Kanpur Nagar, Agra and Chitrakoot; eleven districts namely Pilibhit, Rampur, Barabanki,

Ambedkarnagar, J.P. Nagar, Shahjahanpur, Bulandshahr, and Baghpat and two districts namely

G.B.Nagar and Ghaziabad are found to be better developed in social , agriculture and industrial

sector respectively. Similarly six districts namely Kushinagar, Sant Kabirnagar, Maharajganj,

Gonda, Ambedkarnagar, and Sidharthnagar have very low social development; seven districts

namely Hamirpur, Chitrakoot, Mahoba, Jalaun, Banda, Jhansi, and Sonbhadra have very low

agricultural development and twenty three districts namely Kushinagar, Sant Kabirnagar,

Balrampur, Sidharthnagar, Kaushambi, Maharajganj, Etah, Sharawasti, Azamgarh, Gonda,

Deoria, Ambedkarnagar, Hardoi, Auraiya, Sultanpur, Chandauli, Sant Ravidasnagar, Pratapgarh,

Mainpuri, Sitapur, Basti, Kheri, Kannauj and Bahraich have very low industrial development.

Nine districts namely Kushinagar, Sant Ravidasnagar, Maharajganj, Bahraich, Sharawasti,

Balrampur, Gonda and Sidharthnagar are found to be very low developed in overall socio-

economic development.

3. The overall socio-economic development is positively associated with social,

agriculture and industrial development. The impact of industrial development on overall socio-

economic development is higher than the agriculture and social development. Agricultural

development along with the better avenues for education, electricity and medical facilities will

enhance the level of overall socio-economic development. Agricultural development and social

development and agricultural development and industrial development are negatively

associated.

4. Wide disparities in the levels of development have been observed in different districts.

Western Uttar Pradesh and Central Uttar Pradesh regions are found to be better developed

whereas most of the districts in Eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bundelkhand regions are low

developed.

5. In order to reduce the disparities in the level of development, low developed districts

require improvements of various dimensions in different indicators for enhancing the level of

overall socio-economic development. The location specific technology of agricultural

development should be adopted and proper utilization of infrastructural facilities and resources

should be made. Special care and efforts should be made to enhance the industrial development

particularly household industry.

The present study reveals interesting insight into the issue of regional

disparities in term of development in Uttar Pradesh. There is wide micro-regional

disparities exist within the district and regions. There are mixed signals- on the whole the

districts of Uttar Pradesh convey a sense of vigorous disparities in sectoral and spatial

development. The analysis further reveals that the districts of Western Uttar Pradesh and

Central Uttar Pradesh of the study area are developed. The districts of Eastern Uttar
