Sustainable
development is a development process that not only
generates economic growth but also distributes its
benefits equitably; regenerates the environment rather
than destroying it; empowers people rather than materializing
them.
The notion of sustainability or sustainable development
is currently being discussed as a focal theme of development,
planning and other associated aspects. In the light
of self-defeating current mode of development and
recurrent natural calamities people are urged to think
over the faults, shortcomings, weaknesses, discrepancies
and limitations of the on-going development process
and production system.
This book is the product of the deliberations of a
National Seminar held at M.L. Sukhadia University,
Udaipur. The authors, experts in their fields, have
contributed their papers on diverse subjects in an
interdisciplinary framework. The book has been arranged
under five major heads: (a) Concept, Definitions and
Viability of Sustainable Development; (b) Current
Mode of Development Policies and Sustainability; (c)
Natural Resources and Sustainable Development; (d)
Development Process and Women; (e) Human Resources
and Sustainable Development.
This book will find favour not only of academicians,
but also of administrators and policy makers as many
ideas have emerged from the discussions in this book.
