Regional inequalities refer to a condition when the standard of living is considered unbalanced in different parts of a given area. Regional inequalities are a worldwide phenomenon; it is a common fact in both developed and developing economies. Though India is one of the world's fastest-growing economies, it also has one of the most unequal societies. Over the past few decades, inequality has been steadily increasing, and the wealth produced by crony capitalism and inheritance has been concentrated among the wealthiest. They are becoming wealthier at a much quicker rate, while the poor continue to struggle to earn a living income and have access to excellent education and healthcare facilities, which are still underfunded. Every individual is being affected by these expanding disparities and rising inequities.
