The main criterion used by the World Bank in classifying different countries Per Capita Income. The limitations of this criterion are mentioned below:
• Per capita income can be a useful tool for comparison but it is not accurate enough to show the distribution of income.
• It also doesn’t account for various other factors such as infant mortality rate, literacy level, healthcare, etc.
• Since the population is large, per capita income does not reveal true numbers as the population which does not earn at all like children and the senior citizens are also included while calculating per capita income. National income rises but its distribution makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.
World bank only relies on single factor i.e. per capita income for measuring economic development whereas UNDP takes into account many other factors like infant mortality, healthcare facility education level which help aids in improving the quality of life and helps in making the citizens more produRead more
World bank only relies on single factor i.e. per capita income for measuring economic development whereas UNDP takes into account many other factors like infant mortality, healthcare facility education level which help aids in improving the quality of life and helps in making the citizens more productive. India was ranked 135 amongst other countries as per HDI – 2014. On the other hand, the World Bank uses per capita income as the sole criterion for measuring development and classifying the countries as rich and poor. Per capita income can be a useful tool for comparison but it is not accurate enough to show the distribution of income.
Average is a useful tool for making comparison of different quantities of the same category. For example, we use averages to compute the per capita income of a country because of the there are differences in the incomes of diverse people. However, there are limitations to the use of averages. This dRead more
Average is a useful tool for making comparison of different quantities of the same category.
For example, we use averages to compute the per capita income of a country because of the there are differences in the incomes of diverse people. However, there are limitations to the use of averages. This does not show the distribution of thing between people. For an example, suppose in a country, the annual income of a fruit vendor is ₹50,000 while an MNC employee earns an annual package of ₹6,00,000. The average income of this country, therefore, will be ₹3,25,000. Both the individuals have a big difference in income but the average gives a misleading picture. The actual income or status remains unknown. One can clearly consider this as a rich country thereby ignoring the income disparity between two individuals. Averages are useful for comparison; they also hide disparities.

No, I disagree with the statement that per capita income is not a useful criterion at all. Kerala, with lower per capita income has a better human development ranking than Maharashtra because human development ranking is determined considering combinations of other important factors such as health, education and income. So, this does not imply that per capita income is not useful. Rather, per capita income is one of the development factors amongst various other factors present and cannot be left out. Per capita income is used as the criterion by the World Bank but this criterion has certain limitations due to which considering other factors like health, education and income becomes necessary. The rate of population growth being higher than the rate of growth of national income will lead to decline in per capita availability of goods and services and economic welfare.
The present sources of energy utilised by the people of India are electricity, coal, crude oil, cow dung and solar energy. Currently the consumption of energy in India is too high in comparison to its production and reserves. India’s known reserves of oil would last about 30-40 years only and it isRead more
The present sources of energy utilised by the people of India are electricity, coal, crude oil, cow dung and solar energy. Currently the consumption of energy in India is too high in comparison to its production and reserves. India’s known reserves of oil would last about 30-40 years only and it is necessary to use them wisely. Therefore, other possibilities fifty years from now could include ethanol, bio-diesel, nuclear energy and better utilisation of wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, hydrogen energy, tidal energy, wave energy, hydroelectric energy and biomass energy especially with the danger of oil resources running out.
Sustainable development means that the development at present should not come at a cost of depletion of other resources and should not hamper the needs of the future generation of society.

Sustainable development means that the development at present should not come at a cost of depletion of other resources and should not hamper the needs of the future generation of society. Development should be done without damaging the environment. Sustainable development and future needs go hand in hand. If natural resources are not reserved, then development will be constant or may even decline after attaining a certain stage. Exploiting resources unethically will ultimately undo the development that a country may have achieved. Hence in the future those resources will not be available for further progress.
Sustainable development is important because it saves national budget, fulfils the needs of the people, conserves natural resources, helps in the coordination between the natural resources and people and conserves natural resources for future generation.

The Earth has enough resources to meet the needs of all but not enough to satisfy the greed of even one person”. This statement is relevant to the discussion of development as both resources and development go hand in hand. Maintaining the resources for future need is the core essence for sustainability of development. It is easy to fulfil basic needs whereas greed can never be satisfied and greed increases with every want fulfilled. Even if the Earth has enough resources- renewable as well as non-renewable to satisfy everyone’s needs, the resources should be used keeping in mind a vision to secure the environment and maintain a balance of production to avoid shortage or depletion of resources.
