Development and underdeveloped are highly contested topic. A definitional change and modification in the paradigm is just not enough to fulfill the goals and aspirations of citizens. Several attempts have been made to formulate the strategies for sustainable and balanced development for the India and world as well. The basic problem starts with the conceptualization of plan formulation and with its implementation. In my opinion inclusive development is quite possible if government really start formulating and implementing the programmes from the tier third that is from villages. No doubt in India we have Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and they are functioning well but without any substantial outcome e.g., these are the institutions which promotes corruption at the gross root level. What i am trying to highlight that the cause of regional inequality is in the development process itself viz., why there are only six hour electricity supply in villages of India whereas twenty hours in the urban areas? Why roads of urban areas are better than the rural areas? Why government institutions always being created in urban areas? By choice government creates all facilities and infrastructure weak or substandard in rural India. A plethora of evidences can be traced to prove that the government by willingly creating regional disparity in India. I do not know how the urban people are special in comparison to our rural counter part and why there is double standard in our country. Unless the people of rural parts will not get equal opportunity there is no possibility of inclusive, suitable, sustainable, integrated, balanced and above all justified development in our country. Since independence it is a notional and idealistic concept and they will remain idealistic if our approach will not change for holistic development.
