(i)Two developmental goals of prosperous farmers from punjab
(a)High family income through higher support prices of their crops and through hand working and cheap labourers.
(b)Ability to get their children settle abroad.
(ii)Kerala has a higher Human Development Index than Punjab because of the following reasons:
(a)Kerala has low infant mortality rate. In 2003, out of 1000 children born alive 11 died before completing one year of age, but in Punjab the proportion of children dying within one year of birth is 49, which is nearly five times more.
(b)The literacy rate of Kerala (91%) is higher than Punjab (70%)

It refers to the education and health along with income as an important part to achieve well-being of the human resources. The countries which provide these basic necessities progress faster than other countries.

(i)It is important because future generations should not suffer due to the development programmes of the present generation.
(ii)Issue of sustainability consider judicious use of resources, adopt measures to prevent environmental pollution and to avoid wastages.

Sri Lanka tops all the four categories for the highest per capita income, life expectancy, literacy rate and gross enrolment ratio. It also has the highest HDI rank among the given countries. Bangladesh is at the bottom for the category of literacy rate (41%). Nepal is at the bottom in terms of the HDI rank of the selected countries. Myanmar is at the bottom for the categories of per capita income and life expectancy at birth. Pakistan occupies the lowest position in the gross enrolment for all three categories.

The famous quote of Mahatma Gandhi tells us that Earth has plenty of resources to satisfy the needs and basic requirements of the people but it does not have resources to meet the greed of even one person. WHile the basic necessities of human race can be fulfilled by nature, the unlimited exploitation of resources on the pretext of rapid development and the satisfaction of unlimited wants will lead to the destruction of resources. Sustainable developement is the key to the stable growth of economy. It will not only lead to the development of the present economy but willalso lead to its development in the future.

Yes, I agree that per capita income is not a useful crieterion at all and should not be used to compare states. We can understand this fact with the help of the statistics of two states, Kerala and Punjab. The per capita income of Punjab (Rs.26,000) is higher than Kerala (RS 22,800). However, the infant mortality rate (49) and literacy rate (70%) in Punjab are much lower than Kerala (infant mortality rate-11 and literacy rate-91%). The above data clearly shows that per capita income alone cannot be used for measuring the development of a nation or a state.

The World Bank measures the development based only on per capita income, while the UNDP's Human Development Report measures the development in terms of per capita income, literacy rates and general health standards of the people.

World Bank uses the per capita income of the country as the principal criterion for classifying the countries as rich or poor. Per capita income is the average income of the people of a country in a given year. This criterion of classification has number of limitations. They are
(i)World Bank does not give equal importance to other factors such as literacy rates and general health standards of the people which plays an important role in defining the quality of life.
(ii)The per capita income does not reflect information about the unequal distribution of income among the people.
(iii)Classification by income does not necessarily display the development status because economics in one group do not experience similar level of development.

Height of students in a class with a large number of students, income of people of a state, forest cover in a country, etc. are some examples where averages are used for comparing situations.

Good income is important for a comfortable life, but it is not the only important factor. A good income would be useless if a person does not have access to quality health services. If good schools are not available in the neighbourhood, it can be difficult to provide proper education to the children. These are some examples which show factors; other than income; which affect our life

(a) It is true that one may not be development for the other. Each person seeks different things. Generally, people desire to have regular work, better wages and good price for the crops they produce.
(b) Apart from earning more income, one may expect to have a better quality of life.
(c) The quality of life depends on non-material things such as equal treatment, security, respect for others and freedom in society.
(d) For example, women may tend to work in a variety of jobs or start a business to receive a sense of security and freedom in the household and in society.
(e) Thus, we can say all developmental goals are co-related.
