Concept of Human Development: The concept of human development is not singular, but it is a multifaceted concept. This concept includes several aspects, in which economic, social, cultural, political, institutional, psychological circumstantial and moral factors are included, in which many efforts are made to improve the economic condition of the people, to perform human welfare and to make a growth in living standard of the people.

Human welfare is not possible only by wealth, but it also needs social, cultural and moral development of the people of a country. There are 3 important aspects of human development – the life standard of the people, freedom and the availability of opportunities. For the measurement of life standard of people in a country, education, health and availability of resources are calculated and used as the base.

For a long time, the progress of a country was measured in the form of economic development, but this development had no relation to the change in lifestyle of most of the people.Taking and considering it as base, famous economist Mahaboob-Ul- Haq and Nobel prize winner Prof. Amartya Sen represented the concept of Human Development.

The thought of Human Development is based on the concept of equity, sustainability, productivity and empowerment. Equity indicates available opportunities, sustainability expresses the form of stable development, productivity expresses human labour and human work and empowerment shows human capacity of choosing the options.
