The document discusses the concept of development in social science, highlighting its economic and social aspects, and the varying goals individuals have based on their circumstances. It emphasizes the importance of measuring development through indicators like per capita income and public facilities, comparing the standards of living across different regions. Additionally, the document introduces the idea of sustainable development, advocating the responsible use of resources to meet current needs without compromising future generations.

1. Development
Social Science (Economic Development),
Chapter 1,
Class 10

2. Subtopics
• Introduction
• What Development Promises - Different People, Different Goals
• Goals of Development
• National Development
• Comparison of Countries
• Human Development
• Measuring Development
• Sustainable Development

3. DEVELOPMENT ??
Development is a process that creates growth, brings
in progress and positive change. Development is a
healthy sign.
Two aspects of development are
•Economic growth or increase in people’s income.
•Social progress includes literacy, health and the
provision of public services.

5. What Development Promises - Different
People, Different Goals
• Development promises a real growth by enhancing total income and standard of
living of a person.
• So two things are quite clear: (i) Different persons can have different developmental
goals. (ii) What may be developed for one may not be developed for the other. It
may even be destructive for the other.
• The development goals are varying from people to people. For example, a girl from
a rich urban family gets as much freedom as her brother and is able to decide what
she wants to do in life. She is able to pursue her studies abroad.

6. Income and Other Goals
• People prefer to earn more income for fulfilling their daily requirements of life. Companies provide
material thing like, money. But people also want non-material thing like, freedom, security, and respect
of others.
• Some companies provide less salary but offer regular employment which enhances sense of securities.
• In other case, some companies provide high salary but offer no job securities. They reduce sense of
securities.
• There are many things that are not easily measured but they mean a lot to our lives. These are often
ignored. However, it would be wrong to conclude that what cannot be measured is not important.
• Similarly, for development people look at a mix of goals. The developmental goals that people have
are not only about better income but also about better income but also about other important things
in life.

7. National Development
• National development refers to ability
of a nation to improve standard of
living of its citizens.
• Standards of living of citizens depend
upon per capita income, Gross
Domestic Product, literacy rate and
availability of health etc. These factors
also consider as measure of
improvement.

8. How to Compare Different Countries or
States?
• We can compare different countries or state on the basis of per capital income.
• We cannot take national income to compare different countries because each country has
different population rate.
• Per capita income is calculated by dividing total income of a country to total population of
that particular country.
• Per capita income of a country shows the standard of living of the citizens of that
particular company.
• A country with higher per capita income is more developed than others with less per capita
income.

9. Income and Other Criteria
• For achieving development goal of people,
people not only want better income, they also
want non-material thing like, freedom,
security, and respect of others.
• Development of a nation is also depended
upon literacy rate. In Kerala, out of 1000
children born, 12 died before completing one
year of age but in Maharashtra, out of 1000
children born, 25 died before completing one
year of age and in Bihar out of 1000 children
born, 44 died before completing one year of
age.

10. • For development of a nation average
income or per capital income is needed.
Maharashtra had toppest position with
1, 01,314 per capital income. Whereas,
Bihar was in bottom position with
23,435 per capital income. It means a
person in Maharashtra earned Rs 1,
01,314 in one year. Whereas, a person in
Bihar earned only Rs 23,435 in one year.
So, Maharashtra is more developed state
of the country than Bihar with 1,
01,314 per capital income.

11. Public Facilities
• Facilities which are provided by the government considered as public facility like
schools, hospitals, community halls, transport, electricity etc.
• As we know that Punjab has more income than the average person in Kerala but
Kerala has a low infant Mortality Rate because of better public system like, Public
Distribution System which provide Health and nutritional status to the state.
• We need public facility because we are not able to purchase all things by money. We
cannot able to buy a pollution free environment with the help of money.

12. Sustainability of Development
• Sustainable Development refers to development of human with at the same time
sustaining the ability of natural system.
• It is helpful to fulfil the needs of the human being without harming the ability of
the future generation.
• For sustainable development, we have to use non-renewable resources like carbon
based originally designed fuel for the quantity how much we needed.
• Some renewable resources like groundwater will take long time for replenished. So,
we should use that resource in finite quantity.
