ROAD DENSITY AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN HARYANA- 2011

Dr. Subodh Rani

Abstract :

 

             In the present paper, an attempt has been made to analyze the road density and levels of regional development in Haryana in 2011. Two variables (Total road length per 100 km² and Total road length per lakh population) are chosen for the measurement of the road density and four oad categories: Demographic, Social, Economic and Ecological have been selected to study the regional development levels. District wise rank orders have been assigned to find out the composite index and to draw a connection between road density and regional development. It is recorded that district Kaithal has the maximum road density by both the indicators. In regional development, Sonipat district has attained the 1^st rank whereas Palwal is the least developed district. It is suggested that there is an urgent need to construct new roads and expand the existing highways for a balanced regional development in state.
