What is Development? Let’s Simplify the things with a small example. And Ram Singh wants to have a tractor and a good house to live in. Rahul wishes to have a bicycle and a video game. Similarly, we have ideas about what a country should be like. What are the essential things that we require to make the life better for all?
Thus, “Development” involves thinking about these questions and about the ways in which we can work towards achieving these goals. Development - means a progression from a simpler or lower to a more advanced, mature, or complex form or stage. It is also defined as the gradual advancement or growth through a series of progressive changes. Development is a process, not a level. It is a path to achieve certain goals.
Similarly, different people have different goals in their life. People seek things that are most important for them and can fulfill their aspirations or desires.
Different People and Different Goals 1. Landless rural labourers • More days of work and better wages. • Local school is able to provide quality education for their children • No social discrimination
Different People and Different Goals 2. Prosperous farmers from Punjab • Higher support prices for their crops • Assured high family income • Settle their children abroad
Sustainable Development Sustainable Development is the development that allow all future generations to have a potential average quality of life that is at least as high as that which is being enjoyed by the current generation. In other words it is the ‘Development that meets the need of the present generation without compromising the ability of the future generation to meet their own needs’
