Development Precedes Infrastructure: A Pragmatic Approach to India's Growth

Image
India's path to development is a complex journey, with numerous challenges and opportunities. Among the key debates within the nation's development agenda is the sequencing of development vis-à-vis infrastructure. Some argue that a robust infrastructure is the bedrock of development, while others contend that development should take precedence over infrastructure. In this article, we delve into the discourse and advocate for a nuanced perspective - development must precede infrastructure in India. Understanding the Dilemma Infrastructure development is undoubtedly crucial for a nation's progress. Roads, bridges, electricity, and communication networks form the backbone of economic growth, industrialization, and urbanization.
