Abstract

“Our ancestors did great work for Humanity. What will we do for the next generation?” The need of hour is to practice 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.

Social sustainability is the ability of a social system such as a country, family, or organization to function at a defined level of social well being and harmony indefinitely. Problems like war, endemic poverty, widespread injustice, and low education rates are symptoms a system is socially unsuitable.
