ABSTRACT
The processes of
development and growth of People and Nation are continuous matching to the
needs and dynamics of various groups who should get these benefits. India has
got sufficient resources to cater the needs of its people but not their greed.
The inequality and inequity of distributing resources to various groups creates
gap and getting widened from time to time. It is evident from the reality that
the mission of poverty alleviation has been deviated. Added to this, the
processes of Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization though brought
development on one side but got limited in its distribution to the people over
the Nation and thus widened the gap between the urban & rich and rural
& poor. The recent processes happened in the Nation has been brought to the
people that the ‘benefits of development should reach the last man sitting at
any corner of the area’ is mostly on paper but different in reality. Continuation
of such mismatch widens gap between rich & poor; and urban & rural
which further resulted for inequality, inequity, bias, vulnerability, marginalization,
isolation, migration, rivalry, and crime among people in general and particularly
women. The challenges of such unpleasant and unhealthy causes and consequences
are alarming to the stakeholders and forcing them to look for better
alternatives. The recent target to the Nation is to achieve the targets of Sustainable
Development Goals. The opportunities and initiatives taken up are opened gates
to look for better wellness as solutions matching to the needs and dynamics of the
People, Community and Nation. The models and initiatives of the study are
simple, flexible, scalable, replicable and sustainable.
Key Words: Development, Social Change, Community,
Empowerment, Social Media, Challenges, Isolation, Opportunities, Wellness.
