An Introduction
Do you know what is Sustainable development ? have you ever studied about it if no lets read it? Sustainable development is defined as development that meets the requirements of the present without jeopardizing future generations' ability to satisfy their own needs.
The safeguarding of future economic growth and development is a component of sustainable development. In other words, it means a higher quality of life for everyone, both now and in the future. The safeguarding of future economic growth and development is a component of sustainable development. Growth is necessary, but it must be distinct for sustainable development. It must become increasingly concerned about the physical environment, not just for the current generation, but also for future generations. It means that current spending cannot be sustained indefinitely by increasing economic debt and ecological imbalance, both of which future generations will bear. Sustainable development is always striving to accomplish social and economic growth while avoiding depleting the earth's finite natural resources.
Sustainable development is a development process in which economic and other policies are meant to produce development that is economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable. Thus, the concept is pro-people, pro-job, and pro-nature. It prioritizes poverty alleviation, gainful employment, social integration, and environmental regeneration.
Thus, sustainable development necessitates
- The preservation of ecological resources as well as increased utilization of renewable resources.
- Promotion of the use of environmentally safe technologies for development goals, i.e. a focus on reducing all types of pollution associated with economic operations.
- Policy framework development and execution for people-security and human justice, encompassing ecological and economic security.
What is Human Development
Human development, as described by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), is "a process of expanding people's choices." At all levels of development, the three most important choices for people are to live a long and healthy life, to gain more knowledge, and to have access to the resources required for a reasonable standard of living. Many other possibilities to improve one's quality of life will be unavailable if these basic options are not available.Human development has two dimensions: acquiring human capabilities and applying those talents for productive, recreational, and other goals. Because people are the fundamental essence of human growth, the benefits of human development extend well beyond the expansion of income and wealth accumulation.
Economic growth is only one aspect of human progress. Economic growth focuses on improving one option, such as income or product, but human development focuses on expanding all human alternatives, such as education, health, a clean environment, and material well-being. Thus, the alternatives available for improving people's lives are influenced by the overall quality of economic growth, and the impact is not limited to quantitative aspects of such growth. In other words, economic growth must be viewed as a means, albeit an important one, rather than the end aim of development. Income, in general, contributes significantly to human well-being if its benefits are converted into more fulfilling human lives. However, income increase is not an objective in itself. The quality of growth, rather than its quantity, is critical for human well-being.
As a result, the concept of human development is primarily concerned with enabling people to live better lives as the ultimate goal of human activity. This objective cannot be accomplished only by increases in income or material well-being.
According to the Human Development Report of 1996, growth can be unemployed rather than job providing; cruel rather as poverty-reducing; voiceless rather than collaborative; rootless rather than culturally embedded; and futureless rather than environmentally benign. Jobless, cruel, voiceless, rootless, and futureless economic expansion is not beneficial to human development. Income poverty is only one facet of human deprivation; deprivation can also occur in other areas, such as having a short and sick life, being illiterate or not allowed to participate, feeling personal insecurity, and so on. As a result, human poverty outnumbers income poor.
Human Development Index
As previously said, the three dimensions of Human Development are the ability of people to live a long and healthy life, the ability to gain knowledge, and the ability to have access to resources necessary for a fair quality of living. Using the Human Development Index, we can measure the combined effect of numerous components of human development (HDI). The HDI is composed of four variables: life expectancy at birth, which represents the dimension of living a long and healthy life; adult literacy rate and combined enrolment rate at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels, which represent the knowledge dimension; and real GDP per capita, which serves as a proxy for the resources required to maintain a decent standard of living in a given country. In order to assess a country's human development, the HDI looks at a variety of factors, including GDP growth rate, education, health, gender disparity, and income levels.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) published the Human Development Report (HDR) 2013 in 2013, which estimates the human development index [HDI] in terms of three basic capabilities: the ability to live a long and healthy life, the ability to be educated and knowledgeable, and the ability to enjoy a decent economic standard of living. The HDI for India was 0.554 in 2012, with an overall global ranking of 136 (out of 186 countries) compared to 134 (out of 187 countries) a year Since 1980, India's Human Development Index (HDI) has increased by 1.7 percent every year.
