Abstract

Development is a multidimensional process and it cannot be estimated fully by one or two indicators. Moreover, when we try to use one or two indicators individually, we cannot get any integrated and easily comprehensive picture of reality. So, it necessitates to build a composite index of development based upon optimal combination of different developmental indicators in the analysis for assessing the level of development. The main objective of the study is to estimate the level of development separately for agriculture, infrastructural facilities and socio-economic fields. Outcome of level of development at mouza level will help to identify where a given mouza stands in relation to other mouzas.
