Why resource planning is necessary? Its tooo urjent plsss 2morow is my exam plss tell me!!!

Answer 1

Resource planning is important in a country like India, which has enormous diversity in the availability of resources. While some regions are rich in certain types of resources, they may be deficient in some other types of resources. For example, a mineral-rich region may be poor in infrastructure or may be socio-culturally backward and included in economicallybackward regions.


Some regions are self-sufficient in terms of availability of resources, while, on the other hand, there are regions that face an acute shortage of resources. Thus, for proper development, distribution, sharing and utilisation of resources, taking into consideration the technology,quality of human resources and historical experiences of the people, resource planning is essential for development. India has made concerted efforts for achieving the goals of resource planning right from the First Five Year Plan launched after Independence.
