Economic prosperity is the most important means of raising people’s incomes and reducing poverty in the developing world – it creates jobs and opportunities for poor people to support their families and build more stable futures. The developing countries face challenges that make it difficult for them to stimulate and sustain economic growth.

Development activities itself is not sufficient to yield results for a longer period to the community unless the greater participation of the community is ensured into the development process. The sustainable development is in other way to empower the community to own it and make it sustainable for their own benefits. The research study tried to establish the various links which is important to make the development program sustainable, equitable and empowered the community towards self-reliant. The study evaluated development programs andits attributes towards failure and success in the light of management functionsimplemented by govt,development partners etc. The study tried to establish the issues which have both forward and backward impact in sustainability issues for long term development aspects.
