Abstract
Difference between the economic growth and the human development is that o f -the first
focuses exclusively on the expansion o f only one choice - income, while the second embraces
the enlargement o f all human choices - whether economic, social, cultural or political. A
comprehensive set o f social and human development indicators needs to be evolved to monitdr
plan progress. In addition to Gross National Product growth rates, annual assessments on the
performance on human development front, changes in relative and absolute poverty levels
etc. need to be carried out.
