MHRD - Annual Report 1989-90. Part 1

Abstract

In the broad context of “Human development: goals for the 90s" the Unicef report on the State of the World’s Children 1990 says : “As the international community formulates development goals and strategies for the 1990s, there is a growing consensus that human development must now take centre stage. In the past development planners have been preoccupied with economic indicators such as GNP, savings, investment, trade and production targets. Economic Growth alone, however, is no guarantee that basic human needs will be met.
