Summary

Introduction

Development has been appropriately conceptualized as a process, which improves the quality of life of people. Resource transfers are being executed in backward regions of the country, it has been observed that the regional disparities in terms of socio-economic development are not declining over time. The function of Socio-Economic development is to release latent productivity in the factors of production singly and in coordination and bring about an increase in the output of individual factors and units of production and a mutually additive effect through coordination in inputs, outputs, space, time and maximize the overall rate of economic growth. These three factors are called the components of population dynamics because these three factors, which bring about dynamism in population numbers by not letting them, remain static
