Abstract

Societal development in a sustainable way is always treated as a better goal than the economic and political development of the society. Rather, it would be pertinent to say that without social development we cannot attend to the economic and political development of mankind. Keeping this thought alive, policy makers in India since the beginning of policy implementation after independence focused more rigorously on strategizing programs and plans for achieving socially sustainable development. This article aims to discuss policies, programs, and strategies formulated and implemented by the Government of India, subjected to social development. It elaborates on the constitutional provisions, planning endeavors, trends and analysis of the attribute of sustainable development such as education, employment policies and strategies, and gender equality and women empowering policies of the government.
