How national development brings prosperity for society
Answers
Explanation:
There is a growing recognition of the importance of equity to development, and many development agencies recognise equity as a central goal for their programming. However, while equity is used intuitively in development debates and programming, it seems that its meaning is not clearly understood. This is reflected in often shallow analysis about what equity is and what should be done to achieve it. Its importance is recognised, but the policy priorities for achieving it are not consistently or coherently explored.
Answer
Those of us who grew up in India in the 1980s, when only one national television channel was on air, will remember sharing their living room every Friday night with those of their neighbours who didn't own a TV set. Everyone was glued to the one prime-time show of any importance: Chitrahaar, a medley of the latest Bollywood music videos and old Hindi movie songs. We relished watching it together on our black and white televisions, knowing that this monochrome – yet still colourful – experience was being shared by the entire nation at the same time. Many of us even remember exactly where we were when, on the eve of the 1982 Asian Games in Delhi, it was announced with great ceremony that India was migrating to colour television. Finally. A new dawn.
There was really only one political party in the country back then. Posters of its leaders were plastered everywhere. We consumed products from the few Indian companies that were household names, who made everything from hair oil to steel wardrobes. We listened to the latest pop music – which had, as we eventually learned, been released in the West several years earlier.
Each year, relatives visiting from abroad would bring suitcases of awe-inspiring gifts which confirmed to us that life was very different in the free-market economies of the West. In India we remained protected behind tariff walls and exchange-rate restrictions, being Indian and buying Indian, while yearning to be global. Meanwhile, the economy chugged along at what was affectionately known by economists as the 'Hindu rate of growth'. In the eyes of most of the world, India was an exotic place, famous for snake charmers, Maharajas and the nobility in its poverty.
Fast forward to 2017. The India many of us grew up with has disappeared completely. Self-assured, dynamic, assertive, armed with ubiquitous cell phones, numerous TV channels, nuclear weapons and a world-class IT industry, India is today one of the fastest-growing economies of the world.
