It is hoped that with inclusive growth approach (that focuses on the condition of lagging social groups and regions) Indian society will move towards a higher level of development with all sections of society benefiting from this.

CONCLUSION

This module shows that Indian society is high diversified. The processes of change have further divided society horizontally and vertically. There is a need to follow a differentiated approach to demographic problems of different sections and subsections of population which can be done by following an area and social class specific approach to fertility and health. To put it differently, the problems of India can be solved only by focusing on the most disadvantaged sections in most backward states. If the demographic diversity persists and is confounded with socio-economic and political disparities it can ruin the democratic fabric of the country and lead to political disintegration. We will certainly not be able to achieve the goal of inclusive growth.
