Development, Inclusive Development, Human Development, Paradigm Shift, Review of LiteratureAbstract [English]
The concept of development has a long history of changing over time. Since inception, the well-being of a nation was measured in terms of per capita gross domestic product which has become redundant with the passes of time. To overcome the limitations associated with the earlier developmental frameworks, there have been gradual paradigm shifts in the concept and measurement of development. In this study, an attempt has been made to review the existing literature on how countries have shifted from a traditional per capita income-based notion of development to a more recent and comprehensive idea of development, i.e., the Inclusive Development. Moreover, the study also reviews the empirical evidences on the status of development in Indian context. From the study it has been found that there has been a continuous move towards different notions of development over time. As well, a review of Indian development status reveals that in India also, various strides were made for inclusive development for a more inclusive society.
