RAS question
The concept of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' focuses on:
Correct answer: (D) Inclusive development for all.
Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas focuses on inclusive development for all.
Explanation
Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas is not a narrow slogan about growth in one sector; it frames development as shared, trusted and participatory. The PIB source explains the motto as "Together, for everyone's growth, with everyone's trust" and says it resonates with the SDG principle of leaving no one behind. That directly supports option D: the emphasis is inclusive development for all. Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas extend the idea to social harmony, trust and collective effort. Budget 2025-26's focus on Garib, Youth, Annadata and Nari fits the same logic: development policy is being presented around broad inclusion, not only output growth or industrial expansion.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Only economic growth is too narrow because the motto is tied to everyone's growth, trust and leaving no one behind, not just aggregate economic expansion.
- (B) Industrial growth only misses the inclusive-development frame, which covers society-wide access and programmes rather than one sector.
- (C) Military modernisation is unrelated to the cited motto, which the PIB source connects to development objectives and inclusive programmes.
Concept
This tests inclusive growth and welfare orientation in Indian Economy. It recurs in RAS because schemes, budgets and flagship policy phrases often ask candidates to identify the development philosophy behind government priorities.
