But it can be argued that ‘Complex Index’ should be the correct answer. 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 The Community Development Programme was initiated primarily to \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n Bring out development of urban facilities\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 in development among the people by raising the literacy level\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.
