Panchtatva’ sustainability in socio-economic development

Green development is an assurance for dignified life but the economic growth without human face cannot reduce poverty, improve equality and produce jobs unless it is inclusive. Particularly in India, abject poverty co-exists with the extensive growth in GDP, with record of exclusion and disparities for the majority. It exhibits that spurt of growth is bringing prosperity for the selected pockets only. An inclusive green growth should be people centered, delivering material benefits as well as opening up new horizons, ensuring equal access to them and by explicitly creating productive economic opportunities for the poor. The prime duty is imposed on the State to create an effective social order by eliminating all the inequalities in status, facilities and opportunities. Half heartedly, the State has enacted various statutes to fulfill the constitutional dreams that doomed due to the vested interest of few. Although the state has a duty to ensure financial and social inclusion for all yet every stake holder is under the obligation to strike a balance between environment and development so that the relationship of human race with ‘Panchtatva’ sustains.
