While development has been the foremost agenda before successive
governments in India, it has been viewed narrowly - from the
perspective of economic development and particularly in terms of
gross domestic product (GDP). This book questions such an approach.
It breaks from the conventional wisdom of GDP growth as being a
definitive measure of the success of a country's policies and
offers an alternative development philosophy. The author contends
that people's economic and social welfare, life satisfaction,
self-fulfilment and happiness should be treated as indicators of
real development. The book underlines that in a successful model of
development, the country's economic policies will have to synergize
with its cultural ethos and that the objective of development
should be gross national happiness and well-being of the people.
This book will be useful to scholars and researchers of development
studies, economics, public policy and administration, governance,
political science and sociology, as well as to policymakers.
