For me, I consider my skills to be developed when I am better than what I was. The other may consider his skills to be developed whom he is able to compete with his fellows. This is applicable to everx field viz research and technology, education, economy, etc. Something we call evolving or progressing.
I was conversing with my grandfather yesterday and he told me that i used to earn Re. 1 per day when he first joined a job back in 1950's. And during those times they had k simple lifestyle. Now I live in 21st century with my father earning a handsome salary in 5 digits. There is one more difference between those days and present time - our lifestyle has change completely. Today, with advent of cellphone, I need a recharge everyday; i cant imagine my life without internet and i use bike instead of bullock-cart. I feel myself surrounded by gadgets. We use modern agricultural equipments and techniques like drip irrigation at our farmhouse. What is all this? Isn't it development?
India became independent in 1947 and during these 71 years of freedom we have achieved a lot in various fields. Let it be science and technology, sports or any other field. From inventing our own nuclear missile to developing the tablet phone (Akash Tablet), a country which was in shackles of Britishes has become global power and has shown development in all spheres.
Just look at your life before 5 years and now. You certainly will feel that India has progressed. Yes I live in a country which will be amongst top developed nations by 2020. Development is a process that will always go on.
