Explanation

In the post-globalized era, particularly since the early 2000s, India's public policy for human development underwent a paradigm shift from a welfare-based or 'state-directed' model to a 'rights-based approach'. This transition is characterized by the enactment of parliamentary acts that transform essential developmental outcomes into legal entitlements for citizens. Key examples include the Right to Education (RTE), the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) for employment, and the National Food Security Act (NFSA). This approach aligns with global trends where the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and international conventions emphasized human rights as the foundation for development and poverty reduction [2]. Unlike the earlier state-centric models, this framework empowers individuals as 'rights-holders' and mandates the state as the 'duty-bearer' to ensure social justice and human development in a globalized economy [1].
