Read the passage given below and answer the questions on the basis of your understanding of the passage : In every country some regions are richer than others, and some [not necessarily the richest] are developing more rapidly than others. To make a plan which gives equal emphasis to every square mile, or spent an equal sum on every inhabitant, would be quite uneconomic. In the first place different areas have different growth potential ; some have minerals, or water, or good natural harbours, while others are poorly favoured. And secondly, even if all areas started with equal resources, it would pay to concentrate development in relatively few places, because of the economies of geographical concentration. Hence, as soon as one area got ahead for any reason, however accidental (e.g. the birth there of some entrepreneurial genius, which explains the growth of motor manufacture near Singur), it would grow much faster than the rest. It could offer many services and commodities more cheaply, because produced on a large scale ; it would possess an interlocking network of markets, banks, transport facilities, engineering repair services and the like; its schools, hospitals and research institutes would offer more specialized services, and so on. That some parts of the country will develop faster than the rest is a natural economic phenomenon ; and so is its corollary, that some areas will contract, relatively, or even absolutely. If the country is fully integrated, it is in the general interest that resources be invested where they are likely to prove most productive. Full integration means a right to participate equally in economic activities in any part of one s country. If the savings of citizens of country B are to be used to develop county C, on the ground that will be most productive there, the citizens of B must be allowed to enjoy the new opportunities which their savings will be creating in C : to seek work there, to trade without customs barriers and to enjoy any facilities (schools, hospitals etc ;) which are going to be financed out of taxes collected as a result of such development. Resistance to the proposition that resources be invested where they are most productive derives from the expectation that those who live where the resources are invested are going to benefit most. Such resistance cannot be eliminated altogether, since it is true that residents have an advantage, but it can be minimized by furthering the country s integration : by building transport facilities, and by using some of the wealth produced in the richer areas to finance improved public facilities in the poorer areas, thus buying their consent to concentration of development policies in the areas with the best prospects.
