Abstract

Given the negative effects of regional imbalance or disparities owing to concentration of growth oriented activities / industry / business processes in specific urban growth centres especially in and around metropolitan cities, it is need of the hour to plan for managing a regionally balanced growth by spreading enterprises of the growth oriented activities/ industry /business processes in to rural districts. There is a need to create rural growth centres. In this context the present paper examines the growth of industry in general and problems and prospects of rural industry in particular in the context of Andhra Pradesh.
