The level of industrial development across different districts of the state has been worked out with the help of composite indices. The composite indicators are obtained with the help of two different methods. The district-wise data in respect of forty three indicators are used for twenty three districts of the State. The data on most of the indicators are for the year 2013-2014. Ranks of the districts in the level of industrial development are obtained from both the methods, which are later compared. It is observed that there is no significant difference between the ranks obtained from the two methods used. The study has brought out the huge disparities that exist among the districts which have accentuated over a period of time.The district Kamrup is ranked first and the district Hailakandi is ranked last. For bringing out uniform regional development, potential targets have been estimated for low developed districts. These districts require improvements of various dimensions in some of the indicators for enhancing the level of overall socio-economic development.
