Question

What may be development for one may not be development for the other. It may even be destructive for the other ? Explain

Answer 1

It is true that development for one may not be development for the other.

(i) More wages means development for a worker, but it can go against the entrepreneur.

(ii) A rich farmer or trader wants to sell food grains at a higher price but a poor worker wants to purchase it for low prices.

(iii) Construction of a dam means more and cheap power, but people, who will lose their habitat will demonstrate.

(iv) To get more electricity, the industrialists may want more dams. But this may submerge the agricultural land, and disrupt the lives of the people.
