World tensions make people conscious towards glaring inequalities on the macro and micro levels prevalent in human societies. This phenomenon has become acute in the underdevelopmed world like India. Dr. V. K. R. V. Rao has recently very rightly emphasized that social planning has emerged as a very important aspect of development strategy. As such, social and economic objectives, policies and indicators should be built up into the overall development strategy from the very beginning. This approach lends great significance to ensure social welfare to the masses in the country. Growing disparities need to be minimised, failing which tensions are further bound to grow beyond limits.
Society exercises most durable influence on human environment. A remarkable transition has taken place in the basic structure of the society, and it has had significant bearing on human needs, value judgments, demographic variables and desire to possess. Change in human attitude is rather very fast. Accordingly, Alvin Toffler thinks, "a society fast fragmenting at the level of values and life styles, challenges all the integrative mechanisms and cries out for a totally new basis for reconstruction. When diversity converges with transience and novelty, we push the society forward towards an historical crisis of adaptation to create an environment so ephemeral, infamiliar and complex as to threaten millions with adaptive breakdown."
PROBLEM
Religious faith is superb in the minds of Indians but religion as an ideology gets mixed up with economics and politics. Extreme poverty, due to ignorance of our people, leads to communism and expolitation aggravates the problem. Mass illiteracy is the bedrock of prevalent evils in the society.
