______________________________

✔The concept of resource conservation is a relatively new concept.

✔It started gaining ground since the 1970s when problems of pollution, ozone depletion and resource depletion started becoming serious.

✔This happened due to large scale industrialization in the world and rapid population growth.

✔During the colonial period, resources were regarded as plentiful.

✔The technology of production was still relatively traditional and the population growth was moderate.

✔Hence, hardly anyone at that period saw the importance of resource conservation.

✔Therefore, the colonial government of India never tried to conserve resources.
