Sustainable development in India

The development of the doctrine of sustainable development is really a welcome feature but while emphasizing the need of ecological impact, a delicate balance between it and the necessity for development must be struck. It is not possible to ignore the dire need which the society urgently requires. In the words of Professor Michael von Hauff, ‘it is remarkable that India was the first country in the world to enshrine environmental protection as a state goal in its Constitution’. Sustainable development is the process to meet the human needs and wants while maintaining the natural environment or we can say without determent the society.
