Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Why is resource planning so important in a country
like India? Give reasons.
Ans :
i. India has enormous diversity in the availability
of resources. There are regions which are rich
in certain types of resources but are deficient in
some other resources.
ii. There are some regions which can be considered
self-sufficient in terms of the availability of
resources and there are some regions which have
acute shortage of some vital resources.
iii. The states of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and
Madhya Pradesh are rich in minerals and coal
deposits. Arunachal Pradesh has no dearth
of water resources but lacks in infrastructural
development. The state of Rajasthan is gifted
with solar and wind energy but lacks in water
resources. Ladakh has rich cultural heritage but it
is deficient in water, infrastructure etc. This calls
for balanced resource planning at the national,
state, regional and local levels.
