The DI views development as a process which has a ripple effect in the society. Beginning from a potent nucleus, it spreads to the macro level. It begins when the individual and community capture the significance of their lives and are motivated to organize around a practical vision. The success of the individual’s life influences the family.

When the family succeeds the community is influenced. When the community succeeds the nation is influenced. And when the nation succeeds the world is influenced. The potentials of individuals and the community therefore need to be harnessed. It is the enfoldment of these potentials that are expressed as arts, science and technology in organized society and for advancement.

The development process is possible only in an atmosphere of peace, absence of all forms of threat and a supporting social and natural environment. That Sustainable Development can take place when there is Environmental and Human Security in the presence of Economic Growth cannot be overemphasized.
