UP Board Class 10 Social Science – Development
The chapter “Development” in UP Board Class 10 Social Science helps students understand the meaning and goals of development in society. Development does not mean earning money only; it also includes education, health, equality, security, and a better quality of life. Different individuals and countries may have different development goals based on their needs and priorities.
The chapter explains how countries are compared based on factors like Per Capita Income, but income alone cannot decide real development. Therefore, Human Development Index (HDI), which includes income, life expectancy, and education levels, is used to measure a country’s overall progress.
The chapter also highlights the importance of sustainable development, which means using natural resources carefully so that future generations can also benefit from them.
Overall, students learn that true development is balanced, inclusive, and environment-friendly.
