ABSTRACT:
This research has a fresh look on the disparity in transformation of rural economy among states/union territories of Western Himalayan Region during 2001-2011. Western Himalayan Region was rurally more developed than India during 2001-2011. Across the states/union territories in Western Himalayan Region, both union territories (Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh) are rurally developed than Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. North and north western part of Western Himalayan Region was rurally developed than southern part. Eleven districts in Western Himalayan Region recorded negative change in non-agriculture workforce during 2001-2011. These were Lahul and Spiti, Chamba from Himachal Pradesh; Srinagar, Bandipore, Anantnag, Kulgam, Ganderbal from Jammu & Kashmir; and Rudraprayag, Uttarkashi, Tehri Garhwal, Bageshwar from Uttarakhand. It is matter of serious concern for the policy makers and planners of union/state governments. It was recommended that the Union and State Governments should start more rural development programmes keeping in view the target group and area.
