Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A. Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A. Assertion (A) is correct, but Reasoning (R) is incorrect. Assertion (A) is incorrect, but Reasoning (R) is correct. |
Assertion (A) is correct, but Reasoning (R) is incorrect. |
The correct answer is Option 3: Assertion (A) is correct, but Reasoning (R) is incorrect. Assertion (A): The planners should have a spatial perspective and draw the plans to reduce regional imbalance in development. This statement is correct because different regions of the country develop at different rates. Planning with a spatial perspective helps reduce inequalities among regions. Reasoning (R): There is uniform economic development all over the country. This statement is incorrect because economic development in India is not uniform. Some regions are highly developed while others remain backward. NCERT: There is no uniform economic development over space in any country. Some areas are more developed and some lag behind. This uneven pattern of development over space necessitates that the planners have a spatial perspective and draw the plans to reduce regional imbalance in development. This type of planning is termed regional planning. |
