Discuss the development models as the challenge of development? (political science class11)
Answers
Answer:
The term ‘Development’ can be understood better in both the broader and narrower sense:
In a broader sense, development conveys the ideas of improvement, progress, well¬being and aspiration for better life to constitute the vision for society as a whole and how to achieve it.
In a narrower sense, it refers to more limited goals as increasing the rate of economic growth, etc.
Benefits to different sections of society:
Development has been identified with completing projects like factories, dams, hospitals, national high ways rather than to uphold the broader vision of development into the society.
Some sections like industrialists have been benefitted while others like up-rooted families and landless people, etc. have lost their homes or lands without any compensatory gain.
Though, issues regarding the benefits and burdens of development either have been justly distributed or not, have been a main concern for developmental priorities in a democratic setup.
