Abstract
This study empirically analyzes interregional disparities in infrastructural facilities in 30 districts of Karnataka by dividing it into three regions-North, South and Coastal Karnataka. The cross-sectional study is based on Karnataka’s secondary data for the year 2019. Infrastructural facilities under the categories- social, financial, economic and composite- have been indexed with the help of modified principal component analysis. The analysis confirms the prevalence
of a wide range of inter-regional disparities in infrastructural facilities with that being most severe in the case of financial infrastructure followed by social and economic infrastructure. Correlation analysis shows that the districts with better infrastructural facilities depict higher levels of economic growth. Strategic investment on a priority basis should be implemented to promote the balanced development of the state.
