SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: A CALL FOR A CHANGE

Abstract Without environmental sustainability, economic stability and social cohesion cannot be achieved. Sustainable development refers to all the human developments that meet our current needs, without compromising the nature’s ability to provide the resources for the future generations. India has covered 2.4 per cent of the world’s land and 16 per cent of the world’s population. This started creating extra pressure on the resources which are available in India. This results in severely unsustainable use of natural resources by several generations for so many years. Because of this India is experiencing rapid and widespread environmental degradation at alarming rates. To feed the massive population of the country and to meet the growing needs of it, a tremendous pressure is seen over all the resources in India, especially the land, which is overused for various socio-economic activities. In this paper, efforts are present here for various sustainability of the resources which are important for our future generation
