-Income Approach: Human development is seen as being linked to income. The idea is that the level of income reflects the level of freedom an individual enjoys. Higher the level of income, the higher is the level of human development.

-Welfare Approach: This approach looks at human beings as beneficiaries or targets of all development activities. The approach argues for higher government expenditure on education, health, social secondary amenities. People are not participants in development but only passive recipients

- Basic needs Approach: This approach was initially proposed by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). Six basic needs i.e. health, education, food, water supply, sanitation, and housing were identified. The question of human choices is ignored and the emphasis is on the provision of basic needs of defined sections.

- Capability Approach: This approach is associated with Prof. Amartya Sen.
Building human capabilities in the areas of health, education and access to resources is the key to increasing human development

Great Green Wall - SAHEL REGION AFRICA

The Great Green Wall is an African-led movement with an epic ambition to grow an 8,000km natural wonder of the world across the entire width of Africa.

The Wall promises to be a compelling solution to the many urgent threats not only facing the African Continent, but the global community as a whole – notably climate change, drought, famine, conflict and migration.



GREEN WALL OF INDIA

It will be a 1,400km long and 5km wide green belt from Gujarat to the Delhi-Haryana border, on the lines of the “Great Green Wall” running through the width of Africa, from Dakar (Senegal) to Djibouti, to combat climate change and desertification.

If approved, this may turn out to be a legacy programme in India’s efforts to deal with land degradation and the eastward march of the Thar desert.

India seeks replicate the idea as a national priority under its goal to restore 26 million hectares of degraded land by 2030.

The green belt may not be contiguous, but would roughly cover the entire degraded Aravali range through a massive afforestation exercise.
