India is a peninsula covered by water on three sides and protected by the Himalayas on the other. The land has many mountains and rivers and three-fourth of our land is agricultural. In addition, our human resource, which is also a natural resource, is strong. Thus, the topography and eugenics of India make it very clear that our natural resources are our vital resources. Hence, we should try to improve our economy in the area of natural resources instead of technology and industry.
When we do this we will tap the potential of our human resource. But, the sorry state of affairs is that we are promoting projects which harm natural resources as they involve machines instead of people. It is farcical that we consider them ‘developmental’. They are far from being developmental and they have brought the nation and the people of the nation to the brink of disaster. We should have projects which would tap solar energy, harvest rainwater, and recycle natural resources.
