Know the REAL MEANING of DEVELOPMENT Beyond Roads and Buildings

When we think of development or vikas, we often picture highways, airports, metros, and tall buildings. But do these visible symbols really tell us how well a country is doing? In this explainer, Newsreel Asia looks beyond concrete and steel to ask a deeper question: does development only mean infrastructure, or does it also mean freedom, trust, and dignity? Drawing on ideas from thinkers like Amartya Sen, Robert Putnam, and Douglass North, this video explores why real progress is about expanding people’s choices and improving the quality of public life. True development is reflected in everyday behaviour — civic sense, ethical conduct, trust in institutions, and a willingness to do the right thing even when no one is watching. From how societies handle crises like COVID-19 to how citizens treat shared spaces, this episode explains why values and social norms matter as much as economic growth.
