Which of the following statements is true about development?
Statement 1: ‘Development’ has different meanings for different sections of people.
Statement 2: Any discussion on development is bound to generate contradictions, conflicts, and debates.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option 3- Both Statements 1 and 2 are true
Statement 1: ‘Development’ has different meanings for different sections of people.
Statement 2: Any discussion on development is bound to generate contradictions, conflicts, and debates.
‘Development’ has different meanings for different sections of the people. Development would mean different things for example, to an industrialist who is planning to set up a steel plant, to an urban consumer of steel and to the Adivasi who lives in that region. Thus any discussion on development is bound to generate contradictions, conflicts and debates.
