Abstract

Paper seeks to investigate economic disparities in the Trans-Giri of Himachal Pradesh, roughly separated to the half part by Giri River of second backward district Sirmour in Himachal. When juxtaposed with other counterpart of the district considered relatively developed i.e. Cis-Giri (factually developed as this house the industries in Kala Amb, Cement factory in Rajban and also district headquarters in Nahan), Trans-Giri appeared with uneven distribution of income and asset within area. Possession of land is appeared most unequal in the region in asset distribution and in terms of income it again appeared substantially uneven. The inequality of income and possession of land was again distributed more unevenly throughout social classes i.e. between general cast as whole and scheduled cast of the area under study .This, unevenness in distribution of basic asset and income is clearly hampering the idea of just society based on equality and equity.
