Abstract: Service-driven economies are more developed than predominantly manufacturing economies. This paper attempts to understand the regional disparity in the development of service sector in Goa. The study is based on the data collected from the Directorate of Planning, Statistics and Evaluation, Government of Goa. By using simple and composite index numbers, the study grouped all talukas in Goa into high, medium and low categories, with respect to service sector development. The results show that there is a wide disparity in service sector development in Goa. The study has far-reaching implications as Goa is one of the most developed states in India.
