Why do different people have different notions of development? Explain with examples.###Why do different individuals have different as well as conflicting notions of development goals?
✓

Answer

  1. Ideologies of different people regarding different notions of development could be at times conflicting.
  2. Developmental goals are the aspirations and desires of the people. They are different for different individuals. Since people come from different situations, therefore, their developmental goals differ.
  3. They seek things that are most important for them, i.e., that which can fulfil their aspirations or desires. In fact, at times, two persons or groups of persons may seek things which are conflicting.
  4. A girl expects as much freedom and opportunity as her brother, and that he also shares in the household work. Her brother may not like this.
  5. Similarly, to get more electricity, industrialists may want more dams. But this may submerge the land and disrupt the lives of people who are displaced such as tribals. They might resent this and may prefer small check dams or tanks to irrigate their land.
  6. The Sardar Sarovar Dam is an example of conflicting developmental goals for the people who are being affected by it. While the people of Gujarat are happy as they will get water for irrigation and drinking in the areas which are deficient in water but the people of Madhya Pradesh are disappointed as their villages and large part of land will submerge in water thereby leaving them landless, uprooted from their place of work with insufficient compensation and no source of job at the place of their living.
