In spite of the availability of various natural resources in adequate quantity and the launching of several developmental programmes over the past years backed by the allocation of sizeable plan outlays, the Uttarakhand region has continued to remain underdeveloped in certain socioeconomic aspects. The problem related to the developmentof Uttarakhand has, therefore, continued to be a burning topic among planners, policy makers, social scientists and academics seriously involved in regional development.
It is with this in mind that the author has attempted the present study. For this, a fairly detailed analysis has been carried out using both primary and secondary data to throw light on the problems of the region using his research experience of over twenty five years. The author reviews the developmental efforts undertaken in the region, constraints to development and the existing levels of development achieved by the differents sectors. It also examines the possibility and potentials which exist in different economic sectors such as agriculture, horticulture, handicrafts and household industries, organised industrial sector and infrastructure.
It is hoped that the present study would be useful for planners and policy makers as well as students interested in regional development in general and the development of Uttarakhand region in particular.
