The concept of development has been adopted by professionals and academics to demonstrate improvements in the quality of life for people in communities, countries, and geographical areas.

Current conceptions of development focused on respect for individual rights, human freedoms, environmental sustainability, health and well-being, and education have proven more effective in improving the lives of individuals. This paper represents the perceptions and insights of university students regarding the fundamentals of development.
