The concept of development has been adopted by professionals and academics to demonstrate improvements in the quality of life for people in communities, countries, and geographical areas. Throughout history, the practice of development has been associated with actions and categorizations that have had the opposite effect on poor regions and countries. Current conceptions of development focused on respect for individual rights, human freedoms, environmental sustainability, health and well-being, and education have proven more effective in improving the lives of individuals. This paper represents the perceptions and insights of university students regarding the fundamentals of development. The study was carried out with the participation of hundred undergraduate and graduate students from two public universities in Mymensingh. This research was based on a survey in which respondents were given a questionnaire to assess their perceptions and insights on development. The findings of the analysis revealed that respondents have positive perceptions and insights across all development dimensions—social, economic, and environmental—with the economic and social concerns.
