SOCIAL SECTOR DEVELOPMENT AS A CATALYST OF INCLUSIVE GROWTH IN INDIA

Abstract

The socio economic traits of the population needed to be braced up so as to make growth inclusive. The philosophy of social sector development is in line with Sen who visualizes economic development as an outcome of human welfare first rather than Bhagwati apprehends built upon trickle down approach which evidently failed to achieve its objective in initial phase of Indian development. The thrust of the study is to examine the pattern of inclusive growth in India at five point of time i.e. 1993-1994, 1999-2000, 2004-2005, 2011-2012 and 2017-18 due to non availability of data. India lies in the category of 1 to 3, indicates the unsatisfactory progress of inclusiveness in India.
