The document discusses various topics related to economics and development, including:
1. It defines development and lists its three main objectives: fulfilling basic needs, improving standard of living, and increasing choices.
2. It discusses different groups' developmental goals, such as more work/wages, education, freedom of choice.
3. It explains that countries can be compared based on factors like per capita income, literacy rate, and net attendance ratio, not just income.
4. Sustainable development aims to meet present needs without compromising the future by judiciously using natural resources.
3. What does development mean?
Development is a broader term than growth. It doesn’t simply mean
evolving, but also means continuous improvement in situation of the
people involved.
In society, development broadly has three objectives:
1. Enhanced fulfillment of basic needs such as, food, clothing and shelter.
2. Improvement in the “Standard of Living”. This refers to better job,
income, education, health care, etc.
3. More choices available in social and economic aspects of life. For
instance, the ability to choose between jobs after a good graduation
degree from an esteemed college can be termed as development for
youth.
4. DEVELOPMENTAL GOALS OF DIFFERENT
CATEGORIES OF PERSONS

More days of work and better wages, quality
education for children, no social
discrimination.
Landless rural labourers
Assured a high family income through
higher support prices for their crops and
through hardworking and cheap
labourers.
.
Prosperous farmers from Punjab
Regular jobs, better wages, social security
etc.
.
Urban unemployed youth
She gets as much freedom as her
brother and is able to decide what she
wants to do in life.
A girl from a rich urban family
6. In other words, they want more income.
One common thing: what people desire are regular work, better wages,
and decent price for their crops or other products that theyproduce.
7. Materialistic Goals
(That can be bought by money)
Non- Materialistic Goals
(That can’t be bought by money)
Equal treatment and
Freedom
Friendship and Love
Security, and Respect

9. It is very important to keep in mind
that different persons could have
different as well as conflicting notions
of a country’s development.
However, can all the ideas be considered
equally important?
Before any step towards national
Development, we have to think: Would the
idea benefit a everyone or only a small group?
10. National development refers to the ability of
the country to improvethe social welfare of the
people and improve their living standard.
This can be done through various ways. For
example,
1.Educating the poor
2.Providing facilities
3.Portable water
4. Transportation etc
12. Countries with higher income are more developed
than others with less income. This is based on the
understanding that more income means more of
all things that human beings need.
13. AVERAGE INCOME OR PER CAPITAINCOME
Per capita income or average income is defined as
the total income of the country divided by total
population of the country.
World Bank classifies the countries on the basis of their average income.
15. Disadvantages of Average Income:
It doesn't take other important things in
account such as Literacy Rate, Infant Mortality
Rate, etc.
It is dependent upon the size of
population,
It doesn’t take Regional differences
in income in account.
It doesn't talk about income distribution in
a country. Gap between rich and poor.
18. Infant Mortality Rate (IMR): Indicates the number
of children that die before the age of one year as a
proportion of 100 live children born in that particular
year
Net Attendance Ratio: The total number of children
of age group 14 and 15 years attending school as a
percentage of total number of children in the same
age group.
20. All the data given in the past few slides shows us that just
per capita income is not a useful measure to determine
development of a region.
Thus, in assessing development of any state or nation, all
the other factors should be given equal consideration.
22. PUBLIC FACILITIES are those basic facilities which are
provided to all citizens by the government for their well being
and overall development. Such as education, health, security,
transport, food, etc.
23. WHY DO WE NEED PUBLIC FACILITIES?
03
02
01
All citizens are not equal in a nation.
Some are capable to afford basic facilities
but some are not.
Even if a person has income to suffice
his needs,sometimes they too cannot afford
certain facilities.
Without them, the nation can suffer from
inadequate Healthcare, poor nutrition job,
education etc.
24. Moreover, for many of the important things in life the best way, also the
cheapest way, is to provide these goods and services collectively.
For e.g. It is cheaper to have collective
security for the whole locality or for each
house to have its own security man?
25. Kerala has a low Infant Mortality Rate
because it has adequate provision of basic
health and educational facilities.
Similarly, in some states, the Public
Distribution System (PDS) functions well.
Health and nutritional status of people of
such states is certainly likely to be better.
27. Body mass index (BMI) is a value derived from the mass
and height of a person.
Universal SI Unit of BMI- Kg/m
• For Instance:
1. Ideal weight of 14 years Girl: 18.5 and 24.9
2. Ideal weight of 14 years Boy : 18.5 and 24.9
28. India occupies 131st Rank as per
2019 Report.

31. Sustainable development is a concept which takes
care of the needs of the present generation without
compromising on the need of future generations. It
involves judicious use of natural resources.

33. Groundwater is a renewable resource
But its overuse is particularly found in the
agriculturally prosperous regions of Punjab and
Western U.P., hard rock plateau areas of central and
south India, some coastal areas and the rapidly
growing urban settlements.
Till now there has been a decline of 61% of ground
water in India.
