When the sentence is written one of those ways you are depending on the reader to know that the phrase in parentheses has been omitted, thus:
A society's progress and development depends on its people's (progress and development).
or:
A society's progress and development depends on that (progress and development) of its people.
Hm.

Sorry for my poor English. What do you mean by way to go, Dawood? Do you mean I need to improve more?

It's a pretty common phrase, actually. It means: You're doing a good job or Keep up the good work. It is intended as encouragement.
