Sustainable development and Inclusive Growth are two pivots on which the overall global development takes place. Social Science is the building blocks for the study of resources and sustainable development. By exploring the inter-connectivity of sustainable resource usages and growth, Social Science facilitates the inclusive growth en masse. Mathematical Science as a theory of methods, through quantifying parameters, eases the policy making process for sustainable development. Statistics also support the monitoring and evaluation of development inventories. As a multidisciplinary platform for communicating various methods for facilitating sustainable development and inclusive growth, we hope to update the theory of Methods and Methodology.
