Indian Economy is growing very rapidly. The trend of urbanization and modernization in India is very impressive. But there is a disquieting trend of regional disparity instead of balanced economic growth. With the confluence of economic growth there is a pronounced trend of lopsided development in the entire country. Few advanced states are developing very fast. The debates on development have remained fatally elitist and intensely incestuous. The development policies have been biased towards market centers or its surrounding districts. Studies on market, trade, investment and growth of India are over emphasized. The growth fundamentalists have embraced a perverted set of objectives: higher growth of output, investment, exports, profits. But economic growth fails to bring the majority of rural people into the vortex of economic development. Because market is never friendly neither to the poor, unskilled, vulnerable people nor to the resource- poor regions like Orissa. This book highlights the trend of inter district imbalance of Orissa. The functioning of the Orissas economy today is consistently leading to widening of disparities among the districts.
