Sustainable Development in India
Journal Title: Journal of Environmental and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Environmental problems in developing countries originate from the struggle to overcome extreme conditions of poverty. Environmental degradation impoverishes those dependent directly on the natural environment for survival, and conversely, that development must be environmentally sound if it is to be permanent. Sustainable development, frequently being interpreted as simply a process of change that can be continued forever. Environmental quality and economic development are interdependent and in the long term, mutually reinforcing, and the question is no longer whether they contradict each other but how to achieve environmentally sustainable development. This paper attempts to tackle and explore the issue of sustainable development in India. It also tries to give long term solutions to solve the problems plaguing the system so that sustainable development can be promoted and practiced.
