The question is whether Indian democracy has truly ensured the participation of every segment of the population in electoral process. Unless the fruits of democratic success are not shared with deprived and poorer section of the population, the goal of democracy cannot be said to be realized. In Indian context, the worrying aspect is that pace of development is very slow.
The paradox of Indian democracy is that enlightened middle class has shown indifferent attitude towards electoral process. In the era of globalization, he is so deeply involved to fulfill his unending quench for attaining material pleasure that he fails to realize his larger national responsibility. This raises the question that when the most educated and enlightened group will fail to fulfill their national obligation then how can we expect our political system to improve automatically.
Institutions which are considered Political parties and electoral system essential for successful functioning have declined over the years. For example, electoral system, despite serious effort has failed to invent any device to check the entry of anti- social elements in entering into electoral process which questions its legitimacy.

Historically, the responsibility for increased greenhouse gas emissions lies largely with the industrialized world, though the developing countries are likely to be the source of an increasing proportion of future emissions. The projected climate change under various scenarios is likely to have implications on food production, water supply, coastal settlements, forest ecosystems, health, energy security, etc., Climate related risks not only from direct exposure to natural hazards such as floods or droughts, but also from the vulnerability of social and economic systems to the effects of these hazards. Responses to these risks should combine two approaches: Short term measures to react to hazards when they occur, and structural reforms that enhance the capacities of communities to adapt.

The idea behind the new economic model known as Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization in India (LPG), was to make the Indian economy one of the fastest growing economies in the world. An array of reforms was initiated with regard to industrial, trade and social sector to make the economy more competitive.
Education is an important investment in building human capital that is driver for technological innovation and economic growth. It is only through improving the educational status of a society that the multi-faceted development of its people can be ensured. In the post-industrialized world, the advanced countries used to derive the major proportion of their national income not from agriculture and industry but from the service sector.
Urbanization refers to the process by which rural areas become urbanized as a result of economic development and industrialization. Demographically, the term urbanization denotes the redistribution of populations from rural to urban settlements over time. However, it is important to acknowledge that the criteria for defining what is urban may vary from country to country, which cautions us against a strict comparison of urbanization cross-nationally. The fundamental difference between urban and rural is that urban populations live in larger, denser, and more heterogeneous cities as opposed to small, more sparse, and less differentiated rural places.

Governance is the exercise of economic, political and administrative authority to manage an affairs at all levels. It consists of the mechanisms, processes and institutions through which citizens groups articulate their interests, exercise their legal rights, meet their obligations and mediate differences.

Exercising power and decision-making for a group of people is called governance. It happens everywhere – from urban centers to rural villages – and the well being of a community depends on the choices made by people granted this authority. Because of the diversity of organizational structures around the world, people such as land lords, heads of associations, cooperatives, NGO’s, religious leaders, political parties and of course, government are all actors granted the power to govern.

Good governance means securing justice, empowerment, employment and efficient delivery of service. Good governance identifies criminalization of politics and corruption are the major challenges. It also highlights shifts in meaning and content of national values of the freedom movement particularly those of nationalism, democracy, secularism, non-alignment, and mixed economy and its impact on the nitty gritty of administration as well as on the intellectual build up of the organs of the Indian State.

Poverty and unemployment are the major problems of any under developed countries, to which India is no exception. In India, The Expert Group Report (Tendular Report) Commissioned by Planning Commission Estimates India’s aggregate below poverty line to be 37.2%. In the rural area 41.8% of the population was living under poverty. The overall unemployment rate is estimated to 7.32%. The female unemployment rate is 8.5%. The rate of growth of women unemployment in the rural area is 9.8%. This is because of the low growth rate of new and productive employment. In the end of IX plan the rate of growth of implemented various schemes to reduce poverty and to promote the gainful employment. But the more attractive scheme with less effort (finance) is “Self Help Group”. It is a tool to remove poverty and improve the rural development (Sabyasachi Das. 2003).

The high level of dependence on the informal sector on non-institutional sources continued despite a rapid growth of banking network in India in the last five decades. The rural financial system at present functions through an impressively large network of more than
150,000 retail outlets. Despite such phenomenal expansion of the outreach of the formal banking structure, the All India Debt and Investment Survey (GoI), 1981, gave indications that the share of non-institutional agencies (informal s e c t o r ) i n th e o u t s t a n d i n g c a s h d u e s o f th e r u r a l households was quite high at 38%. It was also seen that households in the lower asset groups were more dependent on the non-institutional credit agencies.
