Economic Planning in India over the past four decades resulted in a differentiated growth process across regions/states. This paper examines the structural differences between a least developed state of India (Assam) and a most developed one (Punjab), using their respective Input-Output sectors, it highlights the technological differences in the two economies. The paper also evaluates and compares the sectoral backward and forward linkages - the former with and without imports. In addition, it brings out the conceptual and data problems in constructing an Input-Output model at the regional level. It also suggests the methodology of resolving these problems.

The paper also evaluates and compares the sectoral backward and forward linkages - the former with and without imports. In addition, it brings out the conceptual and data problems in constructing an Input-Output model at the regional level. It also suggests the methodology of resolving these problems.
