The document discusses the concept of development, highlighting its dual nature as both a natural process and an objective measure of progress. It differentiates between short-term growth, such as increased crop output from good rainfall, and long-term, comprehensive development, like improved crop yield via irrigation. Ultimately, development is presented as an all-encompassing idea that includes both qualitative and quantitative changes.
