Nobel laureate Professor Amartya Sen, (1999) is of the view that development is actually a process of expanding real freedoms that people can enjoy through (i) political freedoms, (ii) economic facilities, (iii) social opportunities, (iv) transparency guarantees and (v) protective security; which help progress the general capability of a person. Another Nobel laureate of Bengal, versatile Rabindranath Tagore expressed the idea of ‘freedom’ in his words as: “the departure of the foreign rulers would not give us freedom which should be made meaningful by rural reconstruction.” | | Keywords : | | - anthropogenic = human generated,backward areas,
