In India, there are substantial inter-state and
intra state disparities in the level of growth of output and per capita
income. In order to promote the industrialization of the backward areas
in the country, the growth centers program was announced by the
government of India in June 1988. According to this program, 71 growth
centers were set up throughout the country that were allotted to
the various states on the basis of a combined criteria of area,
population an d the extent of industrial backwardness in the ratio of
1:2:1 respectively. These growth centers provide basic industrial
infrastructure like power, water telecom and banking to enable the states
to attract industries.
