India has a population of 1.18 billion individuals which contribute to 17.31 percent of world’s population. Any discussion around India’s Social Policy, Social Welfare andSocial Development ought to be laid in the context of India’s sixty years of planning history. In those sixty years of planning, India has certainly made strides, such as producing some billionaires that enter into who’s who list compiled by Forbes, alongside its poor making world’s record officially included into the top ten poor nations. India’s situation can be aptly captured and surmised by borrowing the famous saying of American Political Economist ‘doing better but feeling worse’. While the Indian economy has grown fast over the past two decades, some of these underlying developments have not been equally favourable. With more than one-third of the adult population illiterate, India has one of the most unequal education distributions in the world. Because the services sector and certain manufacturing industries in India make intensive use of highly educated workers, the growth of these sectors generates little income for the lowly educated population. Consequently, inequality in India rises when these skill-intensive sectors expand. ‘As is well known, the social reform movement in India had a different beginning. Certainly, the circumstances were not similar. As a result, the social workers in India have not felt it necessary even to maintain a tenuous link with the problem of poverty….If they ( social workers) were concerned with the poor as part of their work, it is because they had no choice about it’ ‘If we want to work for social justice, we have to be political missionaries. There is no alternative. We can not speak like radials and act like conservatives. That would behypocrisy unlimited. I am actively conscious of the fact that the task is not easy. But a beginning has to be made in all earnestness’. We are here to close the gap in social development.
