Dividend or Growth?

It depends on what the goal of the investor is

For an investment stretching over a 3-to4 year period, what is better -- dividend or growth?
If you intend to invest in equity and income is not your concern, then you should invest in a growth plan. You should not expect much in the form of dividends because generally equity is more of a growth vehicle. And it also doesn’t give dividend in a defined period and hence it is not very fixed in nature.
