| Development is an integral process to promote a better quality of life in economic, social, political, cultural and moral aspects. Basically, it is a process of liberalization from structures and mechanisms which are exploitative, oppressive and discriminatory. Thus, development becomes a phenomenon where power is transferred from a small minority to the greater majority. India adopted economic planning for economic development, weaker sections were identified and a welfare approach was adopted in order that these sections too might share the trickling down benefits of the economic development. Social welfare concept was put to practice to protect women rights and to provide them some services. |
