Though India has made good strides in human development over the last 10 years, there is a huge challenge ahead and if there is a political will, the problems can be solved, given the enormous intellectual and management capacity and knowledge the country possesses, according to a senior official of the World Bank. In an interview to Business Line, the Bank's Director, Human Development, South Asia Region, Mr Julian Schweitzer, who was here from Washington to attend a two-day workshop, said, "You can't have human development without sustainable economic growth. You can't have sustainable economic growth without human development. The two are absolutely linked together".
