Growth and development are words which
are usually taken together without really understanding the meanings therein.
For clarification purposes I will put it in
very simple terms.
When we are talking about growth here we are
basically talking about favourable expansion in any direction - vertical
, horizontal etc.
A tree grows in height , it stem thickens
, the branches spread , all this is growth .
When we are talking about development , we
mean qualitative improvement or change in qualities in favourable direction.
A tree bears fruit - that is development .
It sheds old leaves , that is development , it drops ripe fruit ,
that is development .
In general growth and development need to
go hand in hand , but does this always happen ?
