SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Sustainable development includes the protection of future economic growth and
future development. In other words, it means a better quality of life for everyone,
now and for generations to come.Sustainable development includes the protection
of future economic growth and future development. Growth is essential, but
sustainable development requires it to be different. It must become more concerned
about the physical environment not only to present generation, but to the future
generation also. It means that the current consumption cannot be financed for long
by increasing economic debt and ecological imbalance which future generation
will pay.Sustainable development constantly seeks to achieve social and economic
progress in ways that will not exhaust the earth’s finite natural resources.
Sustainable development is a process of development in which economic and other
policies are designed to bring about development which is economically, socially
and ecologically sustainable. The concept thus is pro-people, pro-job and pronature.
It gives highest priority to poverty reduction, productive employment,
social integration and environmental regeneration.
The sustainable development thus requires Preservation of Ecological Resources
and greater use of renewable resources.
Encouragement to the use of environmentally-safe technologies for development
purposes i.e. focus on reduction of all kinds of pollution involved in the
economic activities.
Formulation and implementation of policy framework for people-security and
human justice, including ecological and economic security
