What is Development?
Lets take a simple example to make it simpler.
Rahul wishes to have a bicycle and a video
game.
And Ram Singh wants to have a tractor and a
good house to live in.
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.
