SSC Social Studies Imp Questions for 4 Marks - New Syllabus

Q: Average income is an important criterion for development. Explain in your own words.
A: The World Bank normally classifies countries with the criterion of per capita income. On the basis of the per capita income of the countries, it is decided whether they are high income countries or low income countries. While averages are useful for comparison they also hide some disparities among the countries. Along with income other criterion like equity and access are also to be considered.

Average income is useful for the comparison but it does not tell us how this income is distributed among the people. If the average income of a country is rapidly increased, it doesn't mean that all the people of that country are developed because it is not equally distributed among them. The fruits of the development should be shared by all. Then only we consider that the country is a developed one.

A: India is becoming a developed country. It has been facing some social and economical problems and challenges.

More corruption is prevalent and it is to be controlled. Health and Educational opportunities are to be provided to the poor. Poverty eradication programmes are to be strengthened.
