This document discusses the meaning and importance of development and sustainable development. It defines development as improvements in human welfare, quality of life, and social well-being by satisfying needs and wants. National development refers to a nation's ability to improve citizens' lives, as measured by economic and social indicators like GDP, literacy rates, and healthcare access. Other criteria besides income, like life expectancy and education levels, are also used to evaluate development. Sustainable development meets current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs, through environmentally sound economic growth and intergenerational equity.

1. DEVELOPMENT

2. MEANINGOF
DEVELOPMENT
• Improvement in human welfare ,quality of life, social well
being.
• Satisfying the population’s needs and wants.

3. MEANINGOFNATIONAL
DEVELOPMENT
• National development refers to the ability of a nation to
improve the lives of its citizens. Measures of improvement may
be material, such as an increase in the gross domestic product,
or social, such as literacy rates and availability of healthcare.

4. INCOME AND OTHER CRITERION
DEVELOPMENT
• People have many different developmental goals other than income. Higher income alone cannot bring about development. Several criteria other than
per capita income are used to evaluate the economic development in different countries and states.
Some criteria other than income used to compare development are:
• Life expectancy
• Infant mortality
• Literacy rate
• Net attendance ratio
• Gross enrollment ratio
•
A community also needs public facilities for education and training, affordable healthcare, and provisions for adequate food and nutrition for
development. Body mass index is an interesting way to find your health status.
Countries with lower per capita income than India have comparable or higher developmental performance on other criteria.

5. HOWTOCOMPARE
DIFFERENTCOUNTRIES
• According to the World Bank
• Comparing the total income may not tell us what an average person is likely to earn ,since
people in our country may be better off then others in a different country. Hence, per
capita income is the average income . The criterion is used in classifying countries , in the
World Development Report 2012, brought out by World Bank. Countries with per capita
income of US $12276 per annum and above 2010 are called rich countries and those with
per capita income of US $1005 per annum are called low income countries.

6. • According to the UNDP
• UNDP also encourages the protection of human rights and the empowerment of women in all of its
programmes. The UNDP Human Development Report Office also publishes an annual Human Development
Report (since 1990) to measure and analyse developmental progress. In addition to a global Report, UNDP
publishes regional, national, and local Human Development Reports.[3]
• UNDP is funded entirely by voluntary contributions from member nations. The organization operates in 177
countries, where it works with local governments to meet development challenges and develop local capacity.
Additionally, the UNDP works internationally to help countries achieve the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs). Currently, the UNDP is one of the main UN agencies involved in the development of the Post-
2015 Development Agenda.

7. SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
• Environmental care ‘married’ to development.
• Improving the quality of human life while living within the carrying capacity of supporting
ecosystems.
• Development based on the principle of inter-generational {i.e. bequeathing the same or
improved resource endowment to the future that has been inherited), inter-species and
inter-group equity.
• Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs.
• An environmental ‘handrail’ to guide development.
• A change in consumption patterns towards more benign products, and a shift in
investment patterns towards augmenting environmental capital.

8. IMPORTANCEOFSUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
• Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable development has continued to
evolve as that of protecting the world’s resources while its true agenda is to control the world’s
resources. Environmentally sustainable economic growth refers to economic development that meets
the needs of all without leaving future generations with fewer natural resources than those we enjoy
today.
• The essence of this form of development is a stable relationship between human activities and the
natural world, which does not diminish the prospects for future generations to enjoy a quality of life at
least as good as our own.

9. SUMMARYOFDEVELOPMENT
• With passing time there is always a need for change, to ensure the development of an
individual society.
• Development promises a real growth through changes and in light of these changes . It is
worth examining the implications of a broad move to sustainability.
• Landless rural labors expect more days of work and wages and also the local school to
provide quality of education for their children.
• The desire of people is to work on a regular basis . Earn better wages, and receive decent
price for their crops or other products that they use.
