Governor R.N. Ravi on Wednesday said a model of development, which he called “Darwinian”, had created a huge regional and sub-regional imbalances and social tensions while Prime Minister Modi’s “all-inclusive development model” ensured basic ingredients of a healthy citizenship.
Delivering the address at the 22nd Convocation of Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (Tanuvas), he pointed out how in a progressive State like Tamil Nadu, there were development differentials and sub-regional imbalances.
He called the earlier model of development Darwinian as some relatively smarter people cornered the benefits, leaving the rest behind. “As a result, even after some six-and-a-half decades of Independence, India was home to the largest number of poor, sick and illiterate,” he said.
