The reason is given below. \nPrincipal Component Analysis is a statistical technique used mainly for data reduction and identifying patterns in large datasets. It transforms correlated variables into a set of uncorrelated variables (principal components). While it can theoretically be used to study disparities\, it is not the standard or historically used method in India for measuring regional imbalances. The Composite Index method\, on the other hand\, has been explicitly used by Indian committees and commissions (e.g.\, Planning Commission\, Dholakia Committee\, Bawa & Raizada) to measure and compare the level of development of different states/regions. It combines indicators like per capita income\, literacy\, industrial output\, etc.\, into a single index. So\, PCA is more of an advanced statistical tool\, but the recognized and applied method for regional disparities in India is the Composite Index method. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Which one of the following dimensions would you consider as indicators of development and composite indices for measurement of regional disparity and inclusive growth in India? \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n Economic development\, basic amenities and social development\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Density and Growth of population\, social composition and worker's activity\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Demographic characteristics\, fertility\, mortality and migration\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Contributions of Agriculture\, industry and services\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Inclusive growth considers not just economic development but also the well-being of the entire population\, encompassing factors like access to basic amenities (healthcare\, education\, sanitation) and social development indicators such as poverty levels\, literacy rates\, and gender equality. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n A metropolitan area consists of \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n A central city and surrounding suburbs and small towns\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n A city with a subway system\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n The city only\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Several small towns\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n A metropolitan area is defined as a large urban region that includes a main city and the smaller towns and suburbs that are connected to it economically and socially. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n As per URDPFI Guidelines\, urban and Regional planning system has been divided under two heads: Core area Planning and \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n Specific and Intervention Planning\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n None of these\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Specific and Investment Planning\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Specific and Interest Planning\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Community Development Programme was initiated primarily to \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n Bring in development among the people by raising the literacy level\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Increase the control of the masses over the locally available resources\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Bring out development of urban facilities\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Increase the levels of overall development of the villages through self-help\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Increase the levels of overall development of the villages through self-help\nExplanation:  The Community Development Programme (1952) was launched to achieve holistic rural development by mobilizing people to use local resources and work collectively.
