Abstract
The development discourse has undergone various changes from time to time. Thinkers who proposed various strategies include complete state control on the one hand and to the complete market intervention on the other. India did follow a in-between path right from its first plan onwards. However, learning from our experiences and from the other countries, one can try to evolve more humane and holistic approach of development. The Indian version of economics as propagated by Koutilya can be a rich source of inspiration in this regard. The paper tries to present historical thinking on development and the present needs of such development with a humane face.
