SEMINAR THEME-
SOCIETY AND ECONOMY-A DISCOURSE ON INTER-RELATIONSHIP
INTRODUCTION
 WE ALL SEE DEPENDENCE OF SOCIETY AND ECONOMY IN
DAY TO DAY LIFE.SOCIETY/ECONOMY CAN NOT BE
ANALYSED WITHOUT ECONOMY/SOCIETY.

 SOCIETY IS GROUND WHERE ECONOMY PLAYS ITS ROLE.

 STRUCTURE OF FAMILIES OF SOCIETY,EFFICIENCY OF

HUMAN RESOURCES OF THE SOCIETY DECIDES THE
ECONOMY OF THAT SOCIETY.

 IN THE SAME WAY,ECONOMIC STATUS i.e. AVAILABILITY OF

NATURAL RESOURCES DECIDES THE LIFE STYLE OF
SOCIETY.
 HOW DO ECONOMY AFFECT SOCIETY AND SOCIETY
AFFECT ECONOMY AT DIFFERENT LEVELS?

 BOTH AFFECT EACH OTHER IN EVERY APECT OF OUR LIFE.WE CAN

SEE THEIR INTER-RELATIONSHIP FROM THE INTERNATIONAL
CORRIDORS TO THE CORRIDORS OF OUR HOUSE.WE WILL SEE
HOW THEY AFFECT EACH OTHER AT

1. AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL

2. AT NATIONAL LEVEL

3. AT STATE LEVEL

4. AT CITY LEVEL

5. AT FAMILY LEVEL
 INTERNATIONAL CORRIDORS
 HERE,I WILL TAKE THE RELATIONS OF INDIA AND PAKISTAN
TO STUDY THE INTER DEPENDENCE OF ECONOMY AND
SOCIETY.

1. WAR BETWEEN INDIA AND PAKISTAN DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE

ECONOMY OF THE BOTH THE COUNTRIES DUE TO
EXPENDITURE ON WAR.SCARCITY OF BASIC NECESSITIES
ARISES DURING THE TIME OF WAR WHICH AFFECTS THE
SOCIETY.

2. BROTHERHOOD OF THE SOCITIES OF THE TWO COUNTRIES IS

AFFECTED DURING WAR WHICH AFFECTS TOURISM BECAUSE
OF INSECURITY WHICH DIRECTLY EFFECTS THE ECONOMY.
 CORRIDORS OF COUNTRY
 HERE,I WILL TAKE THE EXAMPLE OF XIX COMMONWEALTH GAMES
WHICH ARE GOING TO BE HELD IN DELHI IN OCTOBER 2010 FOR THE
FIRST TIME.

1. INDIA WAS NOT HAVING WELL INFRA-STRUCTURE TO ORGANISE THIS EVENT.BUT

BY THE HUGE EXPENDITURE,NEW STADIUMS ARE BUILT.BEUTIFICATION OF DELHI
WAS CARRIED OUT TO EARN GOOD REPUTATION IN THE INTER NATIONAL
CORRIDORS .HUNDREDS OF CRORE RUPEES WERE SPENT WHICH COMES DFROM
THE POCKET OF COMMON PEOPLE OF SOCIETY AS TAX.

2. A GREAT LAND WAS ACQUIRED TO BUILT STADIUMS.SLUMS WERE THROWN OUT OF

THE CITY TO HIDE THE REALITY OF INDIA WHICH AFFECTS THE SOCIETY.

3. A LARGE NUMBER OF FOREIGNERS WILL BE COMING FOR THE GAMES WHICH WILL
PROMOTE INDIAN TOURISM WHICH WILL BOOST ECONOMY.

4. PROSTITUTION INDUSTRY IS BOOMING AS THE GAMES ARE COMING TO SERVE THE

DEMANDS OF FOREIGNERS WHICH WILL EFFECT ECONOMY AND SOCIETY BOTH.
 CORRIDORS OF STATE
 HERE,I WILL DISCUSS THE RECENT FLOOD THAT HIT PUNJAB AND
HARYANA DURING MONSOON.

1. FLOODS AFFECTED THE SOCIETY AS PEOPLE HAVE TO REMAIN OUT

FOR THEIR HOUSE DAY AND NIGHT AND THEY WERE DISCONNECTED
FROM THE REST OF COUNTRY WHICH AFFECTED TRADE.

2. FLOOD DAMAGED THE AGRICULTURE BADLY WHICH AFFECTED THE

ECONOMY DIRECTLY.THIS WILL CREATE THE SCARCITY OF THE FOOD
IN FUTURE WHICH WILL AFFECT THE SOCIETY.

3. GOVERNMENT HAD TO GIVE FLOOD RELIEF FUNDS TO HELP THE

VICTIMS OF FLOOD WHICH WILL EFFECT THE ECONOMY.

4. LIFE STYLE OF PEOPLE OF SOCIETY IS BADY AFFECTED DURING

FLOODS AND IT TAKES TIME TO BRING LIFE BACK ON TRACK
 CORRIDORS OF CITY
 HERE,I WILL TAKE THE EXAMPLE OF PATIALA CITY TO DISCUSS THE SOCIETY
AND ECONOMY.WE ALL KNOW THAT PATIALA IS ROYAL TOWN WITH A GREAT
CULTURAL HERITAGE AND WHERE LIFE IS NOT SO FAST LIKE THE
METROPOLITAN CITIES.
1. PATIALA DO NOT HAVE ANY MULTIPLEX.IT HAS STILL OUTDATED CINEMAS
WHICH REDUCES THE EXPENDITURE OF INDIVIDUAL.

2. THERE IS NO TREND OF DISCOS AND PUBS WHICH IS FEATURE OF INDIAN

SOCIETY AND HENCE SOCIETY OF PATIALA IS MORE INDIAN THAN
WESTERN.

3. IF SOMEONE FROM OUTSIDE ENTERS THE SOCIETY OF PATIALA,HIS

ECONOMY IS CHANGED ACCORDING TO SOCIETY.

4. ECONOMIC STATUS OF THE MUNICIAL CO-ORPORATION OF THE CITY IS

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CLEANLINESS AND DEVELOPMENT OF CITY WHICH
ENSURES HYGIENIC ENVIRONMENT.
 CORRIDORS OF HOUSE
 HERE WE WILL STUDY IN RELATION TO FAMILY.FAMILY IS THE BASIS OF
SOCIETY.SO STUDY OF SOCIETY WITHOUT STUDY OF FAMILY WILL BE
INSUFFICIENT.

1. ECONOMIC STATUS OF FAMILY DECIDES ITS SOCIAL STATUS.POOR ARE

NOT WELL TREATED IN INDIAN SOCIETY.

2. FAMILIES WITH WEAK ECONOMIC STATUS ARE GIVING RISE TO SOCIAL

EVILS LIKE CHILD LABOUR,CHILD MARRIAGE AND POPULATION
GROWTH.

3. SOCIAL STATUS OF A FAMILY ALSO AFFECTS ITS ECONOMY.SUPPOSE

ONE DOESNOT HAVE GOOD SOCIAL CHARACTER OR SOCIAL
REPUTATION THEN NO ONE WILL ENTER INTO TRADE WITH
HIMSELF/HERSELF.NO ONE WILL MARRY HER DAUGHTER INTO SUCH
FAMILY.
CONCLUSION

ON THE BAIS OF THIS PRESENTATION, I WOULD

LIKE TO CONCLUDE THAT
1. IN EVERY CORRIDOR OF OUR LIFE SOCIETY AND
ECONOMY PLAYS A ROLE SIMULTANEOUSLY.IF THERE IS
ANY SOCIAL ACTIVITY,THEN THERE MUST BE ECONOMY
BEHIND THIS.
2. IF THERE IS ANY ECONOMIC CRISIS,THEN IT IS SURE
THAT SOCIETY WILL BE AFFECTED.
3. WE CAN SAY THAT YE FEVICOL KA JOD HAI,TOOTEGA NAI
