The level of development of various districts of Madhya Pradesh was estimated with the help of composite index based on optimum combination of socio-economic indicators. All the forty five districts of the State have been included in the study. The data for the year 1994-95 on forty seven socio-economic indicators have been used. The level of development was separately estimated for agricultural, industial, infrastructural and socio-economic fields. Out of forty seven indicators included in the study, twenty three indicators are directly connected with agricultural development, six indicators depict the progress of development in industrial sector and the rest eighteen indicators present the level of development in infrastructural service sector. The district of Raisen was found to rank first and that of Sidhi was the last in the level of socio-economic development. Wide disparities in the level of development were observed in different districts. Positive significant association was found between the levels of agricultural, industrial and socio-economic developments. Infrastutural facilities are influencing the growth and progress of agricultural, industrial and socio-economic development in the positive direction. For bringing about uniform regional development, model districts have been idebtified and potential targets for various indicators have been estimated for low developed districts. These districts require improvement of various dimensions in most of the indicators for enhancing the level of over all socio-economic development.
