Social sector comprised of development of social services and economic services which will result into equal participation in economy so that inclusiveness can be achieved. The philosophy of social sector development is in line with Sen who visualizes economic development as an outcome of human welfare first rather than Bhagwati apprehends built upon trickle down approach which evidently failed to achieve its objective in initial phase of Indian development. Indian Economy at the time of Independence was characterized as rural and agricultural, wherein majority of the people earned their livelihood engaging with low productive techniques in agriculture and related pursuits. The state was far from being self sufficient in food and raw materials for industry in spite of the massive population engaged in agriculture. The Sen and Jean Derze model of growth hinged on the precedence to social sector development, an approach which is an adjunct to the capability approach and hence involves growth inclusiveness (Acharya,.(2013). It advocates creating employment opportunities and engagement of the deprived and marginal segments of population.
