Natural resources are essential, classified based on origin, exhaustibility, ownership, status of development, and sustainable development. Resource planning in India involves identifying, inventorying, and matching resources with the national development plan, emphasizing technology and land conservation measures.

Insights

  • Resources are classified into biotic (life-containing) and abiotic (non-living) categories, with renewable resources easily renewed and non-renewable resources taking millions of years to regenerate.
  • Sustainable development, originating from the 1992 Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit, emphasizes using resources without harming the environment or compromising future generations' needs, highlighting the importance of resource planning to ensure balanced development across regions.

Essential Nature Resources: Classification and Planning

  • Resources in nature like water, forest, soil, wind, and animals are essential for us, termed resources if technically accessible, economically feasible, and culturally acceptable.
  • Resources classified based on origin into biotic (life-containing) and abiotic (non-living) resources.
  • Classification based on exhaustibility divides resources into renewable (easily renewed) and non-renewable (take millions of years to regenerate) resources.
  • Resources classified based on ownership into individual (privately owned), community (owned by the community), national (under government control), and international (regulated by international institutions) resources.
  • Classification based on status of development includes potential (untapped resources with potential), developed (surveyed and currently used resources), stock (resources with potential but inaccessible due to lack of technology), and reserve (resources intentionally reserved for future use) resources.
  • Sustainable development emphasizes using resources without harming the environment or compromising future generations' needs.
  • The concept of sustainable development originated from the 1992 Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit, where global leaders agreed to protect forests and adopted Agenda 21 for sustainable development.
  • Resource planning is crucial to address uneven distribution of resources in different regions, ensuring balanced development across the country.
  • Resource planning in India aims to allocate resources efficiently to regions lacking specific resources, promoting overall development.
  • Resource planning involves identifying regions with specific resources, assessing needs, and strategizing to distribute resources effectively for balanced development.

"Strategic Resource Planning for National Development"

  • Resource planning involves three key steps: Identification and Inventory of Resources, Developing a Plan Structure, and Matching the Resources Plan with the National Development Plan.
  • In the first step, a survey is conducted to identify resources, followed by mapping to locate them, assessing quality and quantity, and creating a resource list.
  • The second step focuses on creating a plan structure to extract identified resources, determining necessary technology, skills, and institutions.
  • The third step involves aligning the resource plan with the national development plan to ensure overall country development.
  • Technology is emphasized as crucial for resource utilization and development, especially considering India's historical exploitation of resources.
  • Land is highlighted as a vital resource, with India's diverse relief features impacting land distribution and utilization.
  • Land use patterns are detailed, including forest areas, uncultivated lands, and net sown areas varying significantly across states.
  • Land degradation causes, such as deforestation, overgrazing, over-irrigation, industrial waste, and mining activities, are outlined, along with conservation measures like afforestation and proper waste management.
