SOL Vs QOL – OPPORTUNITIES FOR INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT

ABSTRACT

          Living of the people has become more complicated with vulnerabilities for hazards and disasters which affected their health and wealth along with the environment. Among several reasons, wealth oriented development with shift towards standard of living has exploited the resources leaving larger population to suffer even for human critical needs. The standard of living is wealth and object oriented and results for several challenges which are unethical and unhealthy. On the other side, quality of life which is people oriented and socially well being has got several opportunities to minimize the challenges of standard of living.  The SWOT Analysis of standard of living and quality of life reflects several merits and demerits of each concept and process where the former is objective and later is subjective which indicates that the later one is more eco-friendly by protecting the health and wealth of the people and environment. This is the positive indication and allows the shift towards the quality of life which further ends with empowerment, sustainability and inclusive development, improved participation, accountability, responsibility and transparency. The effective and need based service delivery systems helps to reach the targeted groups with better harmony as one for all and all for one. The models are simple, flexible, and sustainable matching to the dynamics of the given environment.      


Key Words: Standard, Quality, Development, Inclusion, Sustainability, Environment.

ABSTRACT
Access to information acts as a power to reach and get the services and supports with equality and dignity. This has to be seen as two sides of the same coin having Government on one side and People on the other side who needs to work with better connectivity and coordination. In view of poor access and mismatched service delivery systems, RTI came out as a weapon in the hands of People as well as Government for moving towards the development with better sustainability and quality. A SWOT analysis of RTI reflects that it has got some limitations and mostly confined to asking for information by the people which is time taking, unhealthy and unfriendly. At the same time, RTI insists for proactive disclosure of information which is better in all aspects but not followed by many. The resources like Water, Land, Minerals and others have got better access for investors who do business for business purpose leaving people and environment as the victims. Under these circumstances, the CSOs who work very near to the people have got several opportunities for the effective utilization of provisions of RTI. The initiatives made with selected CSOs have resulted for significant impact and the targeted groups could get the benefit of resources as an empowerment. The initiatives are simple, flexible, replicable, scalable and sustainable matching to the dynamics of the given environment.
