Regional development is the provision of aid and other assistance to regions which are less economically developed. Regional development may be domestic or international in nature. The implications and scope of regional development may therefore vary in accordance with the definition of a region and how the region and its boundaries are perceived internally and externally. On the other hand Economic Development is growth with social justice that is the increase in the standard of living in a nation’s population with sustained growth from a simple low income economy to a modern high-income economy. Also if the local quality of life could be improved economic development would be enhanced. Its scope includes the process and policies by which a nation improves the economic political and social well being of its people.

A country’s economic development is related to its human development which encompasses among other things health and education. These factors are however closely related to economic growth so that development and growth often go together. The status of women has been subject to many great changes over the past few millennia specially in the developing nations. From equal status with men in ancient times through the low points of the medieval period, to the promotion of equal rights by many reformers the history of women in underdeveloped nations have been eventful. The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS) is the most ambitious and Universal poverty alleviation and wage employment programme launched in India since Independence. This programme for the first time ensures the livelihood security of the rural poor including women by providing 100 days of guaranteed wage employment in every financial year.
