Explanation:

Mona and Raju were helping Amma to clean their house.

“Look at all these things…. clothes, utensils, foodgrains,

combs, this bottle of honey, books…..Each of these has a

use,” said Mona. “That is why they are important,” said

Amma. “These are resources…..”. “What is a resource?”

was Raju’s question to Amma. “Anything that can be used

to satisfy a need is a resource”, replied amma. “Look around

you and observe, you will be able to identify many types of

resources. The water you drink when you are thirsty, the

electricity you use in your house, the rickshaw you use to

get home from school, the textbook you use to study are all

resources. Your father has prepared a tasty snack for you.

The fresh vegetables he has used are also a resource”.

Water, electricity, rickshaw, vegetable and textbook

have something in common. They have all been used by

you, so they have utility. Utility or usability is what makes

an object or substance a resource.

“How does something become a resource?” Raju now

wanted to know. Amma told the children that things become

resources only when they have a value. “Its use or utility gives

it a value. All resources have some value.” said Amma.

Value means worth. Some resources have economic

value, some do not. For example, metals may have an

economic value, a beautiful landscape may not. But both

are important and satisfy human needs.

Some resources can become economically valuable

with time. Your grandmother’s home remedies have no

commercial value today. But if they are patented and sold by

a medical firm tomorrow, they could become economically

valuable.
