Give geographical reasons:
Development is not seen in the Himalayan region.
Answer in Brief
Solution
- Physical factors like location, relief, altitude, availability of resources, and accessibility have been responsible for imbalanced regional development.
- While some regions have a better position in terms of geographical location, mineral and other natural resources, the others are lagging in these, e.g. the states in the Himalayan region like Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, several north-eastern states located in difficult terrains surrounded by hills and dense forests are behind the other regions having more mineral and other resources.
- Human factors like skilled labour, technology, transportation, access to markets, communication facilities, power, technology, banking and insurance etc., have played a dominant role in disparity in development.
- Due to the inadequacy of such factors, the Himalayan regions, like the North-Eastern Region, Himachal Pradesh, etc., are less developed as compared to other regions.
- Hence, development is not seen in the Himalayan region.
