How can we judge how well a society as a whole is doing in the light of the disparate interests of its members? There are number of social and economic factors, such as declining wages, unemployment, rising food prices, and poor food-distribution systems et behind the issues which led to starvation among certain groups in society. Especially, country like India, has been trying hard to meet the demands of all the sections of the society by implementing number of policies; still, they have not been able to achieve either development or freedom of choice. When everyone in government was searching for the superficial reasons to put off development, Dr. Amartya kumar sen applied fundamental thinking and came up with several solutions with his pure social choice theory, for which he was honored with Economics Nobel prize.
