Non-governmental Organizations on Development Issues

Development is the strategy of evasion. When you can’t give people land reform, give them hybrid cows. When you can’t send children to school, try non-formal education. When you can’t provide basic health to people, talk of health insurance. Can’t give them jobs? Not to worry, just redefine the words “employment opportunities”. Don’t want to do away with using children as a form of slave labor? Never mind. Talk of “improving the conditions of child labor!” It sounds good. You can even make money out of it.
Palagunmi Sainath,
Journalist. The quote is derived from Sainath's book "Everybody Loves a Good Drought; Stories from India’s Poorest Districts"
