Every nation, no doubt, is interested in development. But what sort of development, development at what cost, devel­- opment for whom - are serious questions to be addressed. Given the situation in India today, one must look for a right paradigm of development. A lengthy analysis of the notion o f integral and health developmet is presented. Genuine development must be based on justice that ensures equal opportunities in education, job opportu­- nities and realizing all other potentialities. It is clear that without justice authentic and integral development is impossible. The paper points out that it is not proper to always blame the Government for everything and the citizens of the nation should realize their respon­- sibilities as well. Drawing insights from the recent writings of Pope Francis, like Laudato Si as well as Misericordiae Vultus, the paper finally seeks to propose a model for an integral and sustainable de­- velopment that is suitable in India.
