IDEA OF DEVELOPMENT IN
CURRENT CONTEXT
Development means making a better life for everyone
A better life for most people means, essentially basic needs. Sufficient food to maintain good health. A safe healthy place to live. Affordable services available to everyone. Treated with dignity and respect. DEFINATION OF DEVELOPMENT Development is a process that creates growth, progress, positive change in economic, environmental, social and demographic component without damaging the resources of environment. MEANINGS- DEVELOPMENT There are three possible meanings of development – 1. Development from within- This views says that the possibilities and the direction of change emerge within that society. 2. Development as interaction- This view denote changes due to the combination of the qualities and potential within the object and the opportunities and resources available in the environment. 3. Development as interpretation- this view says that we cannot really draw a sharp distinction between an object and its environment, this view raises the question of where are the boundaries of any society. SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT Social development obviously reveals the ideas like reducing inequalities and problems, creating opportunities and empowering people, achieving human welfare and well being, improving relationship between people and human institutions and finally ensuring economic development. HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Human development is the process of enlarging people’s choices. The concept of human development has two sides- 1. Formation of human capacity such as improved health, knowledge health. 2. How people make use of these acquired capabilities for productive purpose, for leisure and for being active in cultural, social and political affairs. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Sustainable development refers to that process of economic development which aims of maintaining the quality of life both present and future generations. Such as 1. Efficient use of natural Resources. 2. No increase in pollution. 3. Distributional equality. 4. Preservation of three types of capital. GLOBALIZATION The term globalization means adopting a global outlook for the business an business strategies aimed at enhancing global competitiveness and mutual inter- dependence among the economies of different countries. FEATURES OF GLOBALIZATION Growing worldwide interconnections. Rapid, discontinuous change. Greater managerial complexity Growing inequalities. Growing numbers and diversity of participants. CONCLUSION The term development is however no more precise than the term evolution in its application to social phenomenon. Social development is equitable, socially inclusive and it empowers poor and vulnerable people to participate effectively in development process. Social development begins with the perspectives of poor and marginalized people and works towards positive and sustainable changes to make societies more equitable, inclusive and just. THANK YOU
