“…Regional planning and development are not only alive at multiple scales but remains popular as long as development is unbalanced in the World (Dutt et al, 2020). Each region is unique and differs from the other by the level of economic development, living standards of its inhabitants, unemployment rate and employment possibilities (Rentková , 2017).…”

Spatial inequalities in regional development continue to exist on a global, regional, national, and local scale. The nature and magnitude of spatial inequality in regional development seems not to have been clarified in the Noun Division even though much interest appears to be given only to income inequality despite the fact that spatial inequality in socio-economic development seemingly exist. This paper provides empirical evidence on the dimensions of spatial inequality in regional development in the Noun Division. The situation is examine using simple random sampling technique to select 400 household representatives with the used of questionnaires as the main instrument for data collection. Data collected were analysis using descriptive and inferential statistics in Microsoft Excel 2016 and SPPS21. Dimensional analysis confirms that there exists spatial inequality in regional development with Foumban and Foumbot Sub Divisions rapidly developing in the Noun Division. The study concluded that there exist spatial inequality in regional development between Sub Divisions in the Noun. Based on this finding, it is recommended that the way forward to balance the imbalance between Sub Divisions is to target investments in lagging Sub Divisions taking into consideration variation the distribution of socio-economic development in the Noun Division.

“…A block development officer (BDO) oversees the area with the assistance of numerous technical experts and villagers. ICT diffusion is a crucial challenge (Devereux, 2002; Gigler, 2004) for improving people's welfare programs and livelihood in the context of India and its micro‐regional level (Buttimer, 1998; Dutt et al, 2020). This is where the current study's motivation is embedded.…”

The article investigates the Geographical variations in the outreach of information and communication technology (ICT) diffusion and its effects on rural development across 341 Community Development (CD) blocks of West Bengal. The study is based on secondary data. Secondary data has been collected from Districts Statistical Handbook, Primary Census Abstract, District Census Handbook, and Socio‐Economic and Caste Census. The principal component analysis technique has been used for ICT diffusion index calculation. ArcMap 10.1 has been used for Mapmaking to understand the spatial intensity of the ICT index. The study finds that West Bengal falls within the least zone (0.07–0.18) of ICT diffusion in India due to multi‐dimensional socio‐economic factors. Only 35 CD blocks out of 341 are located in the high ICT diffusion zone (0.49–0.79) in West Bengal, which is 6.87 percent area to the total area. The study concluded that the higher the ICT diffusion higher is the rural development in West Bengal. The study recommends that the government invest more money in ICT in rural development.
