    Introduction Regional disparity is a ubiquitous phenomenon in both developed and developing economies. But in the latter it is more acute and glaring. When economic development occurs unequally across a country, regional differences in the levels of living become an important political issue. State economies are often composed of sets of smaller and localized economies. If the national economy is to prosper then its constituent regional economies must be brought into some sort of harmony. Any attempt to implement regional balanced -growth strategy, it is necessary to identify nature and pattern of regional development, the availability of basic amenities and the quality of infrastructure available. In Uttar Pradesh too, area disparities in the level of poverty, unemployment, income, infrastructure, agriculture, industry and above all the level of living of people exist substantially across the regions. Numerous measures have been undertaken in the last sixty years of planning to achieve balanced regional development of the State, yet wide disparities in area development continues in this state. In the regional analysis of development one comes across regions which are well developed and the peopl e in such region enjoy reasonable standard of living while in others, resource utilization and development is low owing to historical circumstances or other wise, resulting in the underdeveloped of the region whereby people have a poor 1 standard of living. The problem of imbalance in regional development thus assumes a great significance. Regional development, therefore, is interpreted as intra-regional development design to solve the problems of regions lagging behind. The first connotation of regional is e conomic in which the differences in growth, in volume and structure of production, income, and employment are taken as the measure of economic progress.

  • “Everyone Has Been Silenced”; Police
    EVERYONE HAS BEEN SILENCED Police Excesses Against Anti-CAA Protesters In Uttar Pradesh, And The Post-violence Reprisal Citizens Against Hate Citizens against Hate (CAH) is a Delhi-based collective of individuals and groups committed to a democratic, secular and caring India. It is an open collective, with members drawn from a wide range of backgrounds who are concerned about the growing hold of exclusionary tendencies in society, and the weakening of rule of law and justice institutions. CAH was formed in 2017, in response to the rising trend of hate mobilisation and crimes, specifically the surge in cases of lynching and vigilante violence, to document violations, provide victim support and engage with institutions for improved justice and policy reforms. From 2018, CAH has also been working with those affected by NRC process in Assam, documenting exclusions, building local networks, and providing practical help to victims in making claims to rights. Throughout, we have also worked on other forms of violations – hate speech, sexual violence and state violence, among others in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Bihar and beyond. Our approach to addressing the justice challenge facing particularly vulnerable communities is through research, outreach and advocacy; and to provide practical help to survivors in their struggles, also nurturing them to become agents of change. This citizens’ report on police excesses against anti-CAA protesters in Uttar Pradesh is the joint effort of a team of CAH made up of human rights experts, defenders and lawyers. Members of the research, writing and advocacy team included (in alphabetical order) Abhimanyu Suresh, Adeela Firdous, Aiman Khan, Anshu Kapoor, Devika Prasad, Fawaz Shaheen, Ghazala Jamil, Mohammad Ghufran, Guneet Ahuja, Mangla Verma, Misbah Reshi, Nidhi Suresh, Parijata Banerjee, Rehan Khan, Sajjad Hassan, Salim Ansari, Sharib Ali, Sneha Chandna, Talha Rahman and Vipul Kumar.
