“In India some regions are rich in certain types of resources but deficient in some other resources.” Do you agree with the statement ? Support your answer with any three examples.
(1) I agree with the statement that in India some regions are rich in certain types of resources but deficient in some other resources as mentioned below : Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh – rich in minerals and coal deposits. Arunachal Pradesh – abundance of water resources. Rajasthan — lot of solar and wind energy. Ladakh – rich cultural heritage. (2) There is great variation in the availability of resources. Some regions are rich in one resource but deficient in other, as mentioned below Arunachal Pradesh – Lack of infrastructural development. Rajasthan – Lack of water resources. Ladakh – Deficient in water, infrastructure and vital minerals. (3) There is lack of technology in some regions. Thus there are regions that are rich in resources but these are included in economically backward regions.
