Sustainability Concern began since 1960s when it was found that the pattern of economic development in the industrialized countries has led to depletion of non-renewable resources at an alarming rate and has caused fouling of atmosphere resulting in Ozone layer depletion causing global warming and climatic changes .As a result new year diseases have come up causing threat to existence of human beings. The alarm of environmental damage ensued several studies by scholars and agencies, for example, FounexReport (1971), Club of Rome study by D.L. Meadows and others and so on. The United Nations Conference on Human Environment was held in Stockholm in 1972 to discuss plans for environmental preservation. This Conference Popularized the concept of Sustainable Development. The World Conservation Strategy 1980 pleaded for "the maintenance of essential ecological processes and life support systems, the preservation of genetic diversity and suitable utilization of species and eco systems to achieve Sustainable Development through the conservation of living resources".
