What is the developmental approach to social welfare in India?

There are different social welfare approaches taken for the development of India. The family-centric approach is considered the oldest approach in which a family plays an active role in the development. A strong family bond helps to get support in the bad times of any individual. In many countries, a joint family is considered as the main support for the financial condition of any individual. Therefore, the family provides financial support to the unemployed members of the family. The residual perspective approaches are also taken from social development, in this approach the welfare is provided to the individual only in the emergency conditions when the individual is unable to himself/herself. These welfare approaches are done mainly in the condition of hurricanes or tornadoes and in times of natural disasters. The mixed economy approach is another developmental approach to the social welfare of India. In this approach, the private sectors and government sectors come together to manage the welfare programs in a better and more efficient way. There are many places in the country that do not operate this approach in a possible manner. The institutional approach also helps to do the welfare works in India. This approach seems to be elegant but many do not support this approach, which means it lacks adequate support from the public. 

Developmental welfare state in India

A welfare state refers to the concept of the government where a state plays an important role to protect the economic condition and “social welfare” of Indian citizens. The main function of the “welfare state” is based on the “equal distribution of opportunity”, “equal distribution of wealth” and “public responsibilities” to those needy peoples and allows them to have a good life. The development welfare state uses public-private welfare systems to help the development of the state. The equal distribution of opportunities allows the welfare benefits to all the needy people of the state and can get development with these opportunities. The equal distribution of wealth also acts like the same; the welfare state model helps the poor people by equally dividing the money among the needy peoples. The equal distribution of the resources allows the needy people to fulfil their basic survival needs and equal distribution allows the majority of the people to get the benefits of welfare programs. The welfare state in India has two forms; the first one is directing the welfare benefits and resources to the neediest peoples. In addition, the second one distributes social welfare to all those people who try to fulfil the established criteria.
