Abstract
This study is an inquiry into the causes of failure of the growthrate
strategy followed by LDCs after the Second World War, and the emergence
of the new strategy of Rural Development and Basic Needs Approach. Pakistan
is taken as an example from Asia, and the effects discussed thereby. Asia
it may be noted was the continent most severely affected by the growth
strategy, and Pakistan was one amongst the list of main countries which were
left in crises because of the problems associated with the strategy.
Incidentally Pakistan was also one amongst the first to adopt the strategy of
Rural Development and Basic Needs, even before the World Bank and ILO
announced these strategies in 1975.
The argument of the study is that a precondition for the successful
implementation of the new strategy of Rural Development is the provision of
social and economic services in the backward areas. This role in planning
is allotted to the government in most of the developing countries.
The Integrated Area Development Approach which is a corner-stone
of the Rural Development Strategy is adopted in this study. Such an
approach implies local level participation, decentralization of planning,
and functional and spatial integration of the area under study. Chitral
District of North West Frontier Province is selected as the area of study.
The requirement and availability of different units of social and economic
services in the district are solved through the Entry Point Technique and
the Central Place Theory of Location.
