Name two states that are backward in spite of having rich mineral deposits.

The two states that have rich mineral deposits are Jharkhand and Orissa. These states are backward in spite of rich mineral deposits because of the required technology, economy and facilities for development lack in these areas. There is a lack of quality support and human resources in the utilization of the resources. The factors which contribute to the lack of development is the unstable government in the case of Jharkhand. There have been frequent changes in the government due to fewer chief ministers, their short reigns and the failure of political parties in achieving majority vote from the people contribute to the formation of an unstable government. Thus, there is no progress.
