| Summary: | The level ofdevelopment ofdifferent districts ofKerala was obtained with the help ofcomposite
index based on optimum combination of thirty nine socio-economic indicators. The district-wise data
for the year 2001-02 in respect ofthese thirty nine indicators were utilized for all the fourteen districts
of the State of Kerala. The level of development was estimated separately for agricultural sector,
industrial sector, infrastructural facilities and overall socio-economic sector. The district of Thrissur
was ranked first and the district ofWayanad was ranked last in the socio-economic development. Wide
disparities were observed in the level ofdevelopment among different districts. Infrastructural facilities
are found to be positively associated with the socio-economic development.
For bringing about uniform regional development, potential targets of various socio-economic
indicators have been estimated in respect oflow developed districts. These districts require improvements
of various dimensions in some of the indicators for enhancing the level of development. |
