Sustainable Development

Sustainability of development: Economic development in the developed countries and developing countries, has been attained at the cost of natural resources and environment. Development takes place through exploitation of renewable and non-renewable resources.

For example, excessive mining of iron, gold, silver or coal and extraction of crude oil lead to depletion of the stock of these resources. Smoke and other poisonous gases being released from factories lead to environmental pollution.

Problems of water and air pollution are affecting the lives of people and will affect lives of future generations also. The fear of exhausting the non-renewable resources and degradation of the environment warns that the current pattern of development is not sustainable.
