RESOURCES AND DEVELOPMENT "There is enough for everyone's need and not for any body's greed" MAHATAMA GANDHI.
RESOURCES • Everything available in our environment which can be used to satisfy our needs.
What all in this presentation. Types of Resources- natural and man made Classification of resources in, on the basis of origin, stock, distribution, development Conserving Resources& Sustainable development..
TYPES OF RESOURCES RESOURCES NATURAL HUMAN RENEWABLE CONTINUOUS STRUCTURES & QUANTITY P NON RENEWABLE INSTITUTIONS NON RECYCLABLE RECYCLABLE BIOLOGICAL QUALITY NATURAL VEGETATION WILDLIFE.
Classification of Resources On the basis of Origin: Biotic and Abiotic On the basis of Exhaustibility: Renewable and Non-Renewable On the basis of Distribution : Localised and Ubiquitous On the basis of Status of Development: Potential, Developed, Stock and Reserves.
On the basic of origin -biotic and abiotic resources.
LIVING AND NON LIVING • Biotic and abiotic resources.
On the basis of Exhautibility RENEWABLE AND NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES..
OWNER SHIP Individual Resources: These are also owned privately by individuals. Many farmers own land which is allotted to them by government against the payment of revenue. In villages there are people with land ownership but there are many who are landless. Urban people own plots, houses and other property Community Owned Resources: There are resources which are accessible to all the members of the community. Village commons (grazing grounds, burial grounds, village ponds, etc.) public parks, picnic spots National Resources: Technically, all the resources belong to the nation. The country has legal powers to acquire even private property for public good. International Resources: There are international institutions which regulate some resources. The oceanic resources beyond 200 km of the Exclusive Economic Zone belong to open ocean and no individual country can utilise these without the concurrence of international institutions..
ON THE BASIS OF STATUS OF DEVELOPMENT Potential resources: resources which have not been put to usc but are found in a region are called potential resources. Like Rajasthan and Gujarat can be utilized for their solar and wind energies . Developed resources: it includes resources which are surve and their quality and quantity have been determined for utilizati(.
Stock: the materials in the environment which have the potential to satisfy human needs but cannot be used because of technology, are included among stock. Reserves: they are the subset of stock which are used with the help of existing technical knowledge. For example water in lakes, dams, forests etc is a reserve which can be used in the future..
On the basis of their distribution resources can be ubiquitous or localised. • . Resources that are found everywhere like the air we breathe, are ubiquitous. But those which are found only in certain places are localised, like copper and iron ore.
Human Resources •People can make the best use of nature to create more resources when they have the knowledge, skill and the technology to do so. •That is why human beings are a special resource. • People are human resources. • Education and health help in making people a valuable resource. Improving the quality of people’s skills so that they are able to create more resources is known as human resource development.
Conserving resources : How to conserve resources ?.
By doing following practices Sustainable development Resource planning Creating awareness By using 4 R: Reuse, Reduce, Recycle, Refuse. Following the principles of Sustainable Development..
Resource Planning • Planning is widely accepted strategy for judicious use of resources. WHY DO WE NEED RESOURCE PLANNING? • IMPORTANCE OF RESOURCE PLAINNING- • It has importance in a country like India , which has enormous diversity in the availability of resources. • There are some regions which can be considered self sufficient in terms of the availability of resources and there are some regions which have acute shortage of some resources. For example Jharkhand ,Chhattisgarh rich in coal, Rajasthan rich in solar energy. • We have to save for future generation and to avoid wastage of resources. • To reduce regional and personal disparity. • To control global ecological crises- global warming, depletion of ozone layer..
HOW RESOURCE PLANNING IS DONE IN INDIA. Resource planning is a complex process which involves : (i) identification and inventory of resources across the regions of the country. This involves surveying, mapping and qualitative and quantitative estimation and measurement of the resources. (ii) Evolving a planning structure endowed with appropriate technology, skill and institutional set up for implementing resource development plans . (iii) Matching the resource development plans with overall national development plans..
