Resources have been used by human beings indiscriminately and this has led to the following major problems.
Depletion of resources for satisfying the greed of a few individuals has aggravated the immense gap between the rich and poor countries.
Accumulation of resources in a few hands, which, in turn, divided the society into two segments i.e rich and poor.
It has led to global ecological crises such as global warming, ozone layer depletion, environmental pollution and land degradation.
Resource planning is essential for the sustainable existence of all forms of life. Sustainable Economic Development means “development should take place without damaging the environment, and development in the present should not compromise with the needs of future generations.”
