Globalisation has widened the gap between the developed and developing states of India. Justify the statement.

Explanation

It is rightly said that globalisation has widened the gap between the developed and developing states of India.
(a) Major share of both domestic investment as well as foreign direct investment went to developed states. Example, Out of the total proposed investment by the industrial entrepreneurs during 1991 - 2000, 23% was for Maharashtra, 17% for Gujarat, 7% for Andhra Pradesh, 6% for Tamil Nadu while Uttar Pradesh had only 8%
(b) Inspite of several concessions, seven north eastern states could get less than 1% of the proposed investment.
(c) Economically weaker states could not compete with the developed states in open market in attracting industrial investment proposals.
