2. RESOURCE:-
Everything available in our
environment
which can be used to satisfy our needs,
provided, it is “technologically
accessible”,
“economically feasible” and “culturally
Acceptable” can be termed as
‘Resource’.
3. Inter- dependent relationship between
nature, technology and institutions.
Human
beings interact with
nature through
technology and create
institutions to
accelerate their
economic
development.
7. Renewable Resources
The resources
which can be renewed or reproduced by
physical, chemical or mechanical
processes
are known as renewable or
replenishable
resources. For example, solar and wind
energy, water, forests and wildlife, etc.

9. Non-Renewable Resources
Minerals and fossil
fuels are examples of such resources. These
resources take millions of years in their
formation. Some of the resources like metals
are recyclable and some like fossil fuels cannot
be recycled and get exhausted with their use.
10. ON THE BASIS OF OWNERSHIP--------
[1] INDIVIDUAL
12. Individual Resources:
These are also owned
privately by individuals. Many farmers own
land which is allotted to them by government
against the payment of revenue. In villages
there are people with land ownership but there
are many who are landless. Urban people own
plots, houses and other property. Plantation,
pasture lands, ponds, water in wells etc. are
some of the examples of resources ownership
by individuals.
13. Community Owned Resources: -
There are
resources which are accessible to all the
members of the community. Village commons
(grazing grounds, burial grounds, village
ponds, etc.) public parks, picnic spots,
playgrounds in urban areas are
accessible to all the people living there.
21. (I) Potential Resources : Potential resources are
those which are found in a region, but have not
been utilized. For example, solar energy and wind
energy, available in Rajasthan and Gujarat, have
not been developed properly.

22. (ii) Developed Resources :Resources which are
surveyed and their quality and quantity have been
determined for utilization. They are also called
actual resources. Example- Petroleum and liquid
gas in Bombay High.
23. (iii) Stock Resources :: Materials in the environment which
have the potential to satisfy human needs
But human beings do not have the
Appropriate technology to access these, are
Included among stock. For example, water is
A compound of two gases; hydrogen and
oxygen. Hydrogen can be used as a rich
source of energy. But we do not have
Advanced technical ‘know-how’ to use it for
This purpose. Hence, it can be considered as
stock.
24. (iv) Reserve Resources : Reserve is a part of
stock which can be put to use in the near
future with the help of existing technology,
e.g., water in dams, forests.
25.
26. (i) Depletion of resources for satisfying the greed of a few selfish individuals.
(ii) Accumulation of resources in a few hands, which in turn, has led to social
segregation into rich and poor.
(iii) Indiscriminate and uncontrolled exploitation of resources without consideration
for the future have led to grave ecological problems like global warming, ozone
layer depletion, environmental pollution and land degradation.
Indiscriminate use of resources by human beings has led to

27. What is Sustainable Development?
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
The economic development which does not
damage the environment and at the same time
takes care of the needs of the future generations
is called sustainable development
29. is a technique or skill of proper utilization
resources.
It is necessary for the balanced development of India.
1) Some regions of India are rich in certain resources and poor in some other
resources.
E.g.: Rajasthan is poor in water resources but rich in solar and wind energy.
2)Some regions are self sufficient while other regions are very poor in
important resources. Ex: Madhya Pradesh is rich in many resources but
Ladakh is poor in resources.
3)Wastage of resources can be avoided by planning.
4)Environmental pollution can be reduced.
5)Over exploitation of resources can be avoided.
30. 1)Planned use of resources in order to meet the present needs and to
store a part for the future generations is called resource conservation.
It is necessary because
2)Many resources are non-renewable
and exhaustible. If we conserve them we can use them for a longer
period of time.
3)Conservation of resources helps us to reduce wastage. It will help in
economic progress.
4)Resource conservation helps us to protect the environment.
