Draw neat, labelled diagrams : Provision of infrastructure and Stimulus to reduce regional imbalance.

Answer: Provision of infrastructure and stimulus to reduce regional imbalance

Draw a flow diagram with the central box 'Reduction of regional imbalance'. Two boxes feed into it:

• Provision of infrastructure (arrow towards the centre) with branches: roads and railways, electricity, irrigation, water supply, communication, schools and colleges, hospitals, banking and credit.
• Stimulus (incentives) (arrow towards the centre) with branches: subsidies, tax concessions and tax holidays, cheap land and loans, special economic zones / industrial estates, special packages for backward and hilly areas.

The arrows lead to: industries and investment move to backward regions → employment and incomes rise → balanced regional development.
