In India a series of <strong><em><u>Five Year Plans<\/u><\/em><\/strong> for development were made starting from the 1950s, and these included a number of mega projects such as the Bhakra Nangal Dam, setting up steel plants in different parts of the country, mining, fertilizer production and improving agricultural techniques.<\/p>\n<p>3.

New educational institutions like the Indian Institutes of Technology were set up and collaboration with advanced countries in order to have access to their knowledge became a top priority<\/p>\n<p>5.

Development models which have been adopted in many countries has proved very costly<\/p>\n<p>7. Financial costs have been enormous, putting many countries into long-term debt<\/p>\n<p>8. Development has also had high social costs. A large number of people have been displaced from their homes and localities due to the construction of big dams, industrial activities and mining activities, or other projects.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>There is also a loss of culture because when people are relocated they lose a whole way of community life.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>9. \u2018<em><u>Narmada Bachao Andolan\u2019<\/u><\/em> which has been s movement against the <strong><u>Sardar Sarovar Dam<\/u><\/strong> on Narmada river<\/p>\n<p>10. Development has indeed caused a high degree of environmental degradation<\/p>\n<p>11. In the long term, the <em><u>ecological crisis will adversely affect all of us<\/u><\/em>. Air pollution is already a problem which affects all of us badly.<\/p>\n<p>12. Loss of forests affects the poor who use forest resources for a variety of subsistence needs from forests<\/p>\n<p>13. Increased deforestation to cater human needs<\/p>\n<p>14. It could not of course be said that development has had only negative effects for the world.<\/p>\n<p>15. Some countries have had some success in increasing their rate of economic growth and even in reducing poverty.<\/p>\n<p>16. But overall, inequalities have not been seriously reduced and poverty continues to be a problem in the developing world<\/p>\n<p>17. A country may have high rates of growth but that doesn\u2019t necessarily translate into a fair distribution of its benefits.<\/p>\n<p>18. When economic growth and redistribution do not go together, the benefits are likely to be cornered by those who are already privileged.<\/p>\n<p>19. World over, the gap between the rich and the poor has been widening<\/p>\n<p>20. Development is now being viewed in broader terms as a process which should improve the quality of life of all the people.<\/p>\n<p>21. The idea of development refers to the desire for a better life.
