Abstract: Purpose - – The aims of this paper is to deal with the issue from the perspective of Swami Vivekananda’s original contribution toward our fight against “Inequality and Poverty”. Design/methodology/approach - – Some of our approaches toward sustained human development are tangential in nature. However, it is a fact that no single objective is achievable without development on others. Findings - – “Sustained Human Development” is a comprehensive subject. Originality/value - – Ever since Vivekananda’s historic appearance in the Parliament of Religions in 1893 in Chicago, scholars of different fields have been engaged in assessing his seminal contributions in various areas of human development.
