Differentiate development from growth and provide concrete examples of the two terms.

Growth is a process of expanding or becoming large over a certain period. It specifically has
nothing to do as far as qualitative expansion is concerned or in other words it is a term which depicts
quantitative enlargement of a particular thing. Whereas, Development is a wider term and includes
growth i.e, it is more of a comprehensive concept which not only includes quantitative enlargement but
also includes qualitative expansion.
The population of our country is growing
the sentence expresses the increase or expansion of population but this may not be a good indication for
our economy
In another example,
The industrial sector of our country has developed over the decade
Now in this sentence development of a sector is expressed to have happened and this indeed is a good
indication for our economy.

society given the current situation.  
There are four dimensions to sustainable development – society, environment, culture and
economy – which are intertwined, not separate. Sustainability is a paradigm for thinking about the future
in which environmental, societal and economic considerations are balanced in the pursuit of an improved
quality of life. For example, a prosperous society relies on a healthy environment to provide food and
resources, safe drinking water and clean air for its citizens. 
Sustainable development is an approach to economic planning that attempts to foster economic
growth while preserving the quality of the environment for future generations. The idea that
human societies must live and meet their needs without compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs. As of now, it is still recovering from the pandemic all over the world but
development does not stop on its progress.
