essay on developing of india in 100 words
Answers
Explanation:
Before independence, not much was done neither by Muslim rulers nor by Britishers for the development of Indian masses. Britishers, however, did launch some development programmes and enacted some laws to bring changes in the social and material life of the people of India.The major problem that confronted India immediately after independence was how to remake, and how best to reconstruct, renovate, regenerate and reorient the vast multitude of humanity living in rural areas (about 82 per cent in 1947). Rural reconstruction means the adoption of a new pattern of life, which should be based on the habits, traditions and institutions of the villagers.For such rural reconstruction, following some other nations’ footsteps, India had also adopted the course of planning, mainly economic planning. A Department of Planning and Development was created as early as 1944, following Bombay Plan. However, at this stage, the planning could not take concrete shape because of lack of resources and necessary means and skills to achieve it.
After independence, in accordance with the general and long-term goals of the Indian nation and the Directive Principles as laid down in our Constitution, the national government took an immediate initiative to appoint the Planning Commission in 1950 to coordinate all state and central plans and suggest ways and means to remove social inequalities and to bring social change in the desired direction.
