Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">Considering the macro-economic variables, Karnataka economy has been considered to be one of the fast growing economies in the country. The state is in the fore front in GSDP growth, IT &amp; BT services, literacy rate is also increasing, and accessibility of infrastructures is also promising. But, in respect of micro variables, we can observe wide spread disparities among the districts, sub districts and also between the regions in Karnataka. On the one side nature and on the other side man/government have created disparity in respect of economic, social, political and religious. Among those, economic disparity has been treated to be root for the other types of disparities in any economy Even with the longtime efforts of both governments on resolving disparities, Karnataka has facing several disparities between the regions. Here, the researcher has analysed the issues of regional disparities in rural road connectivity in Karnataka. The present study has been conducted based on secondary data.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:&#10;justify;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;&#10;line-height:200%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">&nbsp;< /> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
