Question : 20
Total: 21
State and discuss any two steps involved in attaining sustainable development in India.
Solution:
(1) Pollution Control: Pollution in all forms has a negative environmental impact which has a high opportunity cost. Hence, control of pollution is a must to maintain the quality of natural resources such as air and water for sustainable development. The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Scheme has actively contributed to cleaner air, which resulted in drastic reduction of respiratory diseases.
(2) Efficient Utilisation of Resources: Technological advancement and industrialisation should be input efficient, which means more and more output should be produced with less resources and wastage of resources should be minimised by its proper utilisation. This will help to produce more with lesser number of resources and thus depletion of resources will be slower.
