IINTRODUCTION

India today faces several developmental challenges. Despite the fact that India has experienced rapid economic growth in recent years, more than 456 million Indians continue to live below the poverty line, accounting for nearly one third of the world’s poor. In keeping with the Millennium Development Goals, a range of development programmes are responding to the challenges India faces. Over time, as circumstances and resource availabilities have changed and newer problems and realities have emerged, development programmes have endeavored to provide an appropriate response, evolving new methodologies and strategies to meet the challenges.

Significance
The discipline of Communication and Extension has made an effort to respond to the development challenge faced by communities, families and individuals for promoting their development.

Basic concepts

Programme Development : Development is the process of enlarging capabilities, choices and opportunities of people to lead a long, healthy and fulfilling life. This process includes the expansion of people’s capacities and skills to gain access to and control over factors that affect the basic needs of their lives. Development aims at enabling people to use their capabilities and resources to the fullest.

What are the Millennium Development Goals?

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight broad timebound development goals the world has agreed to strive towards. These eight goals provide concrete, numerical benchmarks for tackling extreme poverty in its many dimensions. Adopted by world leaders in the year 2000 and were set to be achieved by 2015, the MDGs were both global and local, tailored by each country to suit specific development needs. They provided a framework for the entire international community to work together towards a common end — making sure that human development reaches everyone, everywhere.
