DEVELOPMENT ( Developmental goal and aspirations of Nation)

How to compare different countries or states?

  • We can compare different countries or states on the basis of their per capita income.
  • We can not take National income to compare different countries because each countries has different population rate.
  • Per capita income is calculated by dividing total income of a country to total population of that country.
  • Per capita income shows the standard of living of the citizens of that particular country.
  • A country with higher per capita income is more developed than others with less per capita income because of higher purchasing power.

Income and other criteria

  • For achieving developmental goal of people, people not only want better income, they also want non-materialistic goods like freedom, job security, respect from others, equal treatment etc.
  • For development of a nation average income or per capita income is needed.

If per capita income were to be used as the measure of development, Haryana will be considered the most developed and Bihar the least developed state of the three. However this is not true, If we look at the other criteria

In this table:
  •  The first column shows that in Kerala out of 1000 children born  10 died before completing one year of age, but in Haryana the proportion of children dying within one year of birth  was 33 which is three times more than that of Kerala.
  • Literacy rate in Kerala is 94 percent which is higher than Haryana(82%) and Bihar(62%)
  • The last column  shows that in Kerala 83 children out of 100, aged 14-15 are not attending school beyond class VIII which is greater than Haryana(61) and Bihar(43)
SO, on overall comparison Kerala is in much better condition than Haryana  which proves that money is not the all thing which we needed to live well.
