The earth provides all the materials required for living beings to survive and thrive on this planet. Natural resources are what we call these materials. Some basic examples of natural resources are air, water, sunlight, soil, coal and oil.

India is a country rich in natural resources of all types. In fact, it has the world’s second largest deposits of coal, the third largest deposit of manganese and the fourth largest deposit of iron. It also has the world’s second largest population of 1.35 billion people who need to utilize those resources to survive.

Any resource is depleted when we use it up faster than it can be replenished. Resources such as sunlight and wind are renewable. However, other resources such as fossil fuels, minerals and even water are non-renewable; they are being consumed faster than they can be replenished. As life spans and the population of the country have increased, the demands made upon these resources have become increasingly unsustainable.

India is diverse not only in its peoples and culture but also in the type of resources it has. Unfortunately, the sheer size of the population means that these resources are going to be exhausted soon. If we want to preserve the progress we have made we need to move away from non-renewable resources and turn our attention to renewable resources; otherwise the depletion of our natural resources will not only continue, but also escalate.
