5 marks question

Dear Student,
A strategy for judicious use of resources is called resource planning. It is important in India because they are the basis of all economic activities which are necessary for the development of a nation.

Resource planning is a complex process which involves three stages:

  1. to identify the resources across the regions of the country. The methods can be surveying, mapping and qualitative and quantitative estimation and measurement of the resources.

  2. To develop a planning structure endowed with appropriate technology, skill and institutional set up for implementing resource development plans.

  3. To coordinate the resource development plans with overall national development plans. It refers to meeting the requirements of larger plans of the nation.

    Regards.

Resource planning is the judicious use of resources. Resource planning becomes more important in a country like India, where resources are not distributed properly. For example; many states are rich in mineral and deficient in other resources, such as Jharkhand is rich in minerals, but there is problem of drinking water and other facilities.

Resource planning is very essential as:
(i) planning will help in reducing irrational consumption and over-utilisation of resources.
(ii) proper planning for the conservation of resources will take care of the requirements of future generations.
