The concept of social development is more comprehensive than economic development. On the other hand people's participation in any programme from above is involvement and from below it is empowerment. This is the documentation of some of the ongoing social development programmes in different parts of the country whose success lies in the participation of beneficiaries in the programme from below.

At the end, the paper also tries to examine the essential ingredients necessary for replication of these successful models in other parts of the country. - Reproduced.
