Background |
| The world today is at the cross
roads of human development. There are Economic and social imbalances. Though free market
policies and globalization are assisting economic development, benefits are not always
reaching all strata's of society. These changes could have an irreversible impact on the
world’s resources. Against this background the pressing questions that we, as a world
community, have to address are |
- Is this development sustainable?
- Are the developments at the cost of environmental
degradation?
- Does it result in social and economic equality?
|
| With this in mind few concerned
citizen bring their specialized expertise together to form a Non Government Organization
called Madhyam. |
