Different Perspectives About Development
Every human being has an ambition or desire of his
or her own to achieve progress in life. Similarly, we have ideas about how a country
should progress. If our thinking turns towards progress and about the ways to
achieve the many goals for progress, it leads to development.
From the above diagram, you will notice that other
than income, people seek freedom to grow on their own. Thus, development refers
to the improvement in quality of life such as higher income, better education,
better health and nutrition, less poverty and more equal opportunity.
The term ‘economic development’ refers to the
overall growth of all sectors of the economy by adoption of new technologies.
Economic development improves the living standards of the people as well as the
status of the country.
