Concept of Development:( In context of Developing Countries)

Abstract

Concept of development has drawn wide academic interest in Public Administration during the past five decades of the past century.. This was the period when colonisation collapsed and erstwhile  colonies of Western powers witnessed the light of independence. They have to break through the   chavicious chain of poverty they were caught in due to centuries of exploitation, which required a critical minimum effort to break through the condition. So they discarded the notion of development provided by their  erstwhile masters. With the process of liberalisation in the economy, the concept of development has reached a new phase where it is being equated with good governance, which in turn means a retreating state. But in My view, state in developing countries should not withdraw from the welfare functions while providing ample space  for  private initiative in the economic field. 

Key words-  dynamic process , diffraction, discretion, sustainable.
