The unbridled production and consumption patterns have led to severe impact on the environment. The forest fires, the abnormal rainfall, the flash floods, landslides, cloudbursts are the nature’s reaction to human’s uncontrolled and invasive development spree. On September 25th 2015, the United Nations UNO adopted the Sustainable Development Goals SDGs a set of goals to end Poverty, Protect the Planet, Ensure Prosperity for all. Each goal has specific targets that has to be achieved over the next 15 years. The research paper is an attempt to understand the causes of the environmental challenges and its drastic onslaught on the future of all lives on the earth. There are valuable lessons from our ancient practices which can be our saviour. The Research paper discusses some of our rich and useful practices which if adopted, will not only save resources but also make earth a better place for everyone.

This paper analyses the emerging issues and challenges of sustainable development in India by using secondary data. The growth of the population is very high which poses serious challenges for economic growth and environment sustainability. The use of modern technology, good communication facilities and creating new innovations affects the environment and lifestyle of the people. On the other hand, increasing production and consumption of goods puts a strain on the environment causing pollution and emissions of carbon dioxide in the Earths atmosphere, The issues of sustainable development is influenced by several factors like utilization of the available resources, urbanization, industrialization, climatic variability, and poor technology. Sustainable development mainly focuses to raise productivity, income, improve health, economic prosperity, and protect environment degradation. It also meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The government has initiated several programmes and policies to increase sustainability. But, the programmes and policies have failed to achieve their goals. Climate change impacts human life immensely. For instance, air pollution directly harms human health and affects environment biodiversity.

Sustainable development based research and education is the back bone of any nation. And sustainable development policies highlight the role of education which has become the need of the day to create the awareness among the students, researchers and teachers as well as in local communities for environment protection. Exponential Growth of Technology in India has played a significant role in all round development and growth of economy in our country. Sustainable development is an emerging area, because it addresses the socio economic development of every human being. India has opted for a judicious mix of indigenous and imported technology. This work focuses on the key areas of sustainable developments and scientific contributions towards it. This paper also explores the contribution of education to sustainable Development. The development of any country is almost depends on the advancement in developing the technology in different fields. Countries that take part across this industrial revolution are developed much more than other countries because the machine occupies the work more from men. The new technology with young minds creates a synergy both in knowledge and sustainable development.

Sustainable development SD refers to the development that meets the present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It means refining the problem caused by continuous economic growth. It is the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the future. The ultimate objective of sustainable development is to achieve a balance among environmental, economic, and social sustainability, making these the three pillars on which SD relies on. The sustainable development goals SDGs recognize strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, erase hunger, and spur economic growth. They map out a global vision for a better world. They set out ambitious goals and targets for people, prosperity, planet, and peace. To advance the sustainable development agenda every national government must integrate the SDGs into national plans and deliver the breakthroughs that our world desperately needs. This paper introduces the reader to sustainable development, its importance, and application areas. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Paul A. Adekunte | Janet O.

The Relationship Between Natural Resources and Sustainable Development IJSRP Journal
The sustainable development aims at raising the societies' standard of living by means of fulfilling the basic needs from the product the economic resources generated, particularly; the natural resources. These resources, by its nature; is limited and scarce and fall short in meeting all human needs at the same time, accordingly; the importance of optimal and fair use of natural resources in a way that satisfies the needs of the current generation, without affecting the needs of the generation to come. This could be achieved by good and rationalized planning in using natural resources to realize the sustainable development, taking into account the economic, environmental, and social dimensions. The most significant challenges the sustainable development encounters is the excessive exhaustion of using natural resources resultant out of lack of awareness in terms of scarcity of these resources and their importance in development. We recommend that the existing natural resources to be maintained, and other energy resourcesto be foundand usedusedduring the exceptional circumstance.

Critical Approaches to the Concept of Sustainable DevelopmentAI Publications
It has been observed that while living in harmony with nature on earth until the industrial revolution, with the industrial production and consumption society formed after the industrial revolution, humanity has started to dominate nature more and the damage caused to nature has increased. Economic growth, contrary to expectations, increasing inequality in the distribution of income, the impoverishment of the broad masses of the natural environment in the emergence of problems such as destruction of natural resources, growth and development of the concept of sustainable development has revealed the new concept. Sustainable development suggests that both economic development can continue and the ecological system can be protected; the contradiction between the environment and development will disappear. The concept of sustainable development has been considered to be able to solve many country problems since its first appearance, and has been applied to many fields such as economics, politics, the environment and social culture. In fact, there are many aspects of the concept of sustainable development that are open to criticism. The aim of this study is to address the criticisms brought to the concept with a collective perspective. For this purpose, the criticisms brought to the concept of sustainable development based on the previous studies conducted on the subject were examined. It is thought that the study will contribute to the literature by eliminating the lack of a critical perspective on sustainable development in this way.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies. The researcher hopes that the present research study will be helpful to all selected Companies for improving level of corporate disclosure through annual reports as well as the government, creditors, investors, all business organizations and upcoming researcher for comparative analyses of level of corporate disclosure with special reference to selected IT companies.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Narendra Modi ‘India has drawn a roadmap for
tackling climate change, and for environment
protection by maintaining a balance between present
requirements and future vision. Protecting the
environment is a matter of faith for us. We have
natural resources because our previous generations
protected these resources. We should do the same for
our future generations’ https://thewire.in/government/
india-has-clear-roadmap-for-environment-protection-
modi-on-world-environment-day. The issue of
sustainability, is indeed, a major concern across the
world. Global warming effects due to carbon dioxide
emissions are leading to dangerous consequences.
From the Industrial Revolution to Internet
Revolution, the world has seen massive changes in
the process of trade, commerce and business. The
idea is to derive a correlation between ‘reckless
invasive model of development’ and the degradation
of environment. The limited natural resources are
under tremendous pressure due to rampant spree of
production, consumption and also due to inadequate
enforcement of environmental laws. Hence, this
paper, is an attempt to highlight the need for ‘Climate
Justice’ and how India can along with other countries
can offer solutions to this emerging and serious
challenge that faces the world.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PAPER:
To highlight the severity of the problems of
environmental degradation in light of the recent
natural disasters like unseasonal rains, cloud
bursts, floods landslides in Northern India. The
paper attempts to relate the recent heavy rainfalls,
cloud-burst, landslides in northern India as a
testimony to the fact that ecological damage has
already taken place.
To suggest measures to preserve the environment.
This paper offers valuable insights from ancient
philosophy and practices from India that can be
easily adopted to check the degradation of
environment.
To highlight that the process of economic growth
and development needs to be Redefined and
Redesigned.
To emphasize that ‘Sustainable Development’ is
the only way to save Mother Earth.
To suggests that Governments need to be pro-
active and enact urgent corrective policy
measures to stop further damage. Enactment of
sound environmental laws and strict enforcement
should be the order of the day.
To suggests that India has a big responsibility
(taken over the G-20 Presidency) and should take
this opportunity to achieve the SDGs goals.
Methodology of the study:
The methodology is exploratory, wherein existing
knowledge and literature related to the subject was
studied. After the review of literature, it came to light
that every country has rich ancient knowledge as
evident in archeology, texts etc and can offer some
interesting ways to tackle the present problems. The
future planning for development and growth needs an
approach that is nature friendly and is inclusive.
Hence, the present study would suggests adoption of
practices that are nature friendly and cost-effective
too. Rather there should be encouragement to
adoption/usage of nature- based products by
providing incentives to both consumers and
producers.
Review of Literature: Since focus on sustainable
development is a recent issue, not much literature is
available. Some existing literature, highlight the need
for sustainable development but few have discussed
the ‘urgency’ and the methods of the adoption of
sustainable practices.
Cliff Ellis (1989) in his work ‘History of Cities and
City Planning’, describes the evolution of cities from
the early days to the present days. He mentions that
the most important factors that shaped the evolution
of towns and cities are religion, politics, military and
trade. The industrial revolution brought the role of
trade and businesses as an important factor shaping
the towns and cities. Shahid, M.(2023) “ Were
ancient civilizations practicing sustainable
architecture”. He discusses that ancient civilizations
used to live in harmony with nature / practice
sustainability. Cities used to occupy limited area and
were designed organically in tandem with the
geography of the land. He suggests that modern
construction should take inspirations to be compatible
with goals of sustainability practices. Smith, M.E

(2007) finds that the basic principles and processes of
planning urban are similar across cultures but their
implementation in designing was different across
cultures. Ancient kings built monuments, buildings
also to spread ideological messages. He further
describes high levels of planning in Mohenjo-daro,
Ang-ko-war –vat, Teotihuacan (Mexico), forbidden
city in China, He adds that while in the beginning low
levels focus on efficiency and practicality led to
‘orthogonal planning pattern of cities’ and later when
empires expanded, rulers/kings used political and
cosmological factors for planning of cities. Luke. A.
Parsons (2023) a Research Scientist at Duke
University studies health and well- being impacts of
environment and climate changes. He finds that heat
losses affects worker’s productivity and hence
economic losses to the economy. His research finds
that India is at the bulls-eye of climate change and
heat impacts on outdoor workers. He points out that
Indo-Gangetic plains is the hottest and intense place
due to its geographical location and around half of
labor lost due to heat happens to be in India. He
further highlights that global warming and
deforestation are major concerns. He suggests needs
for local regulations at the worksites –provision of
rest, cool shades, drinking water and prevention of
dehydration must be ensured. Choudhury, K. (2022)
writes that India is facing environmental challenges
like floods, heatwaves, receding ground-water levels.
This is having severe economic and social impacts.
As large people depend on agriculture, heat waves
and floods have led to loss in productivity. She
elaborates that India has already embarked on the
path to climate action and sustainability measures-
protecting the glaciers, banning single use plastics,
clean cooking energy, net zero emissions by 2070.
Also, India has also launched LiFE (Lifestyle for
Environment)- a citizen centric program to tackle
climate change by promoting healthy and sustainable
lifestyle and adopting circular economy model. She
further points out that India has a role to play for
emerging markets and other developing countries on
how to utilize ‘climate finance’ pledged by the
developed countries and also work towards a better
world. Majra, J. P. & Gur, A (2009) describe the
process of global climate change and its impacts. That
over the past decades human actions are greatly
contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and hence
the climate concerns. Rising temperatures, heat
waves, rising sea levels, unseasonal rainfalls are
becoming challenges. This will have both direct and
indirect effects on humans. India is a large country
with high population density and with increasing
vulnerability to weather extremes, there is an urgent
need for both mitigation and adaptation. This research
paper attempts to fill the research gap by providing
solutions both from the past knowledge/ insights from
ancient philosophy and practices that can be easily
adopted and used along with other policies to check
further degradation of environment. Since financial
resources will always be a challenge for the
developing countries in particular, the research paper
wants to highlight that we need to take a holistic
approach towards the SDGs. The paper is a sincere
attempt at understanding the responsibility of each
individual, each nation and all international bodies to
form a united force to ‘preserve our Mother Earth’.
Finally, the research paper calls for moving from
‘Invasive model of development’ to ‘Inclusive model
of development’ to achieve the goals of development.
CAUSES OF EXPLOITATION AND
DEPLETION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
1. OVERPOPULATION
India is the most populated country of the world.
There is a need to check the rate of population growth
rate to achieve the goals of sustainable development.
Population and economic development are closely
related. Overpopulation leads to pressure on the
existing resources. The four factors of production-
land, labour, capital and enterprise contribute towards
the production of goods and services. However,
overpopulation leads to indiscriminate and
uncontrolled uses of natural resources that leads to
severe problems like global warming and
environmental degradation. Thus, overpopulation
leads to pressure on the limited resources and is a
cause of environmental problems.
AIR- The most important resource given by the
Mother Nature and which is indispensable for our
existence is under threat. The uncontrolled
industrialization and mechanization has led to a
severe effect on the quality of air. There are instances
of stubble burning, vehicles pollution, smoke from
industries etc, which need to brought under severe
control and regulation,
LAND- One of the biggest reason for pressure on
land is over population. Recently, India took over
China as the country with the largest population. It is
a matter of concern. Since the area of land is limited,
there is high density of population. The lack of
opportunities in villages/agriculture leads to
migration of population to the urban areas. The slums
and jhuggies become centers of such poor people. To
add to the woes, such areas lack basic amenities of
life and are prone to diseases. Thus, rising population
and lack of proper basic amenities leads to social
inequalities.
WATER- The most important things for sustaining
our life are air and water. We can live a few days
4. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470
@ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD61273 | Volume – 7 | Issue – 6 | Nov-Dec 2023 Page 720
without food but not without water. In the process of
economic development and mad rush to industrialize,
we have forgotten to take care of our resources. The
adoption of ‘Green Revolution’ in the 1960s may
have led Punjab and Haryana to be the granaries of
India but there has been depleting of ground water on
account of indiscriminate and uncontrolled use of
water. We need to device methods which conserve
resources not deplete them. Global warming has led
to melting of glaciers, which are the sources of water
for many rivers. There is an urgent need to device
alternative models of development which adopts
sustainable practices.
2. DEFORESTATION
Forests are the arteries of our existence. The role of
forests is immense, not only for the resources it
supplies but also the influence it has on climate .The
rapid pace of industrialization and urbanization –
building of ‘concrete jungles’ has led to rapid felling
of forests. This needs to be checked. Deforestation
affects rainfall and hence affects life through its
impact on agriculture and flora and fauna.
Deforestation has long term impact on the
locals/Tribal and their source of livelihood.
Sustainable development emphasizes on preservation
of forests, flora, fauna and the people, who depend on
it.
3. WATER SHORTAGE
Water is a scarce and precious commodity. There is a
need to regard water as a scarce commodity more so
when we make reckless use of it. As a resource,
Water supply is taken for granted. But not anymore.
In cities and towns, Municipal bodies collect water
tax. Recently, in India, there is a talk of setting up of
a ‘Commission for water’ at the national level.
4. OVERFISHING
One of the issues taken up by environmentalists is the
case of overfishing. Since, water comprises three-
fourth of the earth, it is imperative that we need to
preserve the marine life.
There is a need to check overfishing also because this
has led to fall in fish stocks which is not a good sign.
Around the globe, most fishing is through trawling.
Trawling is one of the most destructive form of
fishing because it has vast amount of by catch and
hence destroys marine ecology. International body
‘GREENPEACE’ has focused on the need for
’sustainable fishing’.
5. AGGRESSIVE PROMOTION OF TOURISM
AND RAMPANT COMMERCIALIZATION
OF LAND:
One of the biggest revenue earnings is through
promotion of tourism. In the modern times, there is
emergence of various forms of tourism- Recreational,
Environmental, Historical, ethnic, cultural, adventure,
medical religion etc. Around the globe, both
government and private sector boost to tourism is
rampant. It is one of the main reasons for rapid
growth of hotels, inns and other stay options in and
around the tourist places. There are cases of
violations of environmental laws and construction of
hotels on the river banks. Mountains are dug out,
trees are felled to make way for commercial reasons.
There is utter disregard for the law of nature and
preservation of sustainability issues. The recent
flooding of Kulu-Manali (Himachal Pradesh) is a
testimony to the invasive model of progress adopted.
6. GLOBAL WARMING, CLIMATE CHANGE
The rapid process of Industrialization as a path
towards enhancing productivity and growth has led to
misuse, overuse of the resources. The consequences
of this has been rise in carbon emissions and global
warming. The global warming is a huge price which
mankind has to pay. The melting glaciers, rise in sea
levels, unseasonal rainfall, droughts, pandemics are
signs of such a disturbance which are unfolding.
7. CONSTRUCTION OF POWER PLANTS,
`TUNNELS, DAMS ON FRAGILE ZONES
The construction of Hydro-electric Power plants,
Dams to fulfill the rising Energy demands have
implications on the environment. After the Kedarnath
tragedy in 2013, a Supreme Court Bench under
Justice Radhakrishnan was set up to find out the
impact of construction of Hydro- electric projects on
the environment. The Bench expressed deep concern
and put a restriction on construction of Hydroelectric
Project in Uttarakhand. The recent Joshimath ground
slipping, cracks on houses, highways are believed to
be the effect of the Tapovan- Vishnugad Hydro-
electric power project.

Environmental practices from our ancient
literature that can be adopted for ensuring a
sustainable future.
Ancient Indian literature contains a vast reservoir of
knowledge on sustainable living practices. The
research paper discusses tenets from ancient
philosophy to carve a better future. Our Philosophy,
Religion, Vedas and Upanishads are believed to
contain knowledge on holistic and balanced life,
preserving ecological balance.
1. THE COSMOS IS ONE AND INTER-
CONNECTED: -‘Tat Tvam Asi’-derived from
Sanskrit word, meaning ‘we are a spark of the
5. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470

Divine’. Harmonious living and sustainability
constitute an essential aspect of this philosophy.
That humans along with other living beings are a
part of the eco-system and hence the need to
protect nature. It also believed in the inter-
connection of the 5-elements /Panchh Tatwa with
the Cosmos. As per the Vedas, the five elements
of space, air, fire, water and earth connect the
human lives with a Brahmand/cosmic structure.
The interdependence exists in relation to the
supreme reality or Brahman. Our ancestors based
their livings in close proximity with nature .They
were nature abiding and sought blessings from
the five elements of nature: Prithvi (Earth), Jal
(Water), Vayu (Air), Agni (Fire) and Aakash
(Ether). The Vedic laws prescribed practices that
help preserve and sustain nature. The human
sensory organs are directly linked to these
elements, thereby laying the foundation of man-
environment relationship. Thus, environment is
what exists within and outside the human body-
like an inseparable entity and in this philosophy
lies the seeds of sustainable development.
2. WORSHIP OF MOTHER NATURE: Ancient
India literature boast of practices that were meant
to protect the environment. Earth was considered
to be the manifestation of goddess who provides
nourishment, and therefore prayed to by human
kind and treated with utmost respect.
Tribals/Adivasis and indigenous communities
like the Bishnois, Bhils, Kandh, Santhals, Gonds
Oram and Swadhyaya have ceremonies and
practices that shows their care and respect for
environment They believe that it is their
responsibility to preserve the nature. In the state
of Odisha, a three day festival named Rajjo’ is
celebrated by the unmarried girls in honor of
Mother Earth. The Chipko movement started by
Sunderlal Bahuguna wherein, the community
women hugged trees to protect them from being
cut by vested interests are all proofs of the
reverence towards Mother Earth and the need to
protect it. He also led the stir against the
construction of Tehri Dam. The Narmada Bachao
Andolan by Medha Patkar was an effort to stop
construction of dam over Narmada to protect
displacement, save flora and faunas.
3. BELIEF IN THE CYCLE OF RE-BIRTH AND
KARMA - the belief in re-birth and karma leads
to practice good deeds and attain moksha. The
thought that we are an insignificant part of the
cosmic structure leads us to lead a harmonious
existence with other lives on earth. Our attitude
towards environment builds up or negates our
karmic bank balance, decisive for next birth.
Man undeniably shares a deep bond with nature
at all planes- spiritual physical and intellectual,
which calls for balance. The basic tenet of
sustainability – ‘live and let live’ is the essence
of our ancient philosophies and literature.
4. FOUR STAGES OF LIFE AS PER HINDU
PHILOSOPHY – Brahmacharya, Grihasta,
Vanaprashta, Sanyasa – while all the four
stages are based on dharma/duties, the
Vanaprashta and Sanyaasa stage are about
renouncement and practice of simple living .
Simple living and practice of restraint can lead
to conservation and respect for the
environment.
5. AN IMPORTANT TENET IN HINDUISM IS
PURUSHARTHA, which means ‘object of
human pursuit.’ It refers to the four main goals
in life- Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha.
While Artha means prosperity and wealth,
Kama means pleasure and Dharma refers to
virtue, righteousness, moral duty, and
responsibility. The above three are called
‘Trivarga’ or three categories.
Liberation/Moksha from all the above goals is
considered the ultimate goal.
6. THE EIGHT –FOLD PATH OF BUDDHISM-
Apart from the Upanishads and Vedas, Jain and
Buddhist traditions /doctrines were based on the
principles of ecological harmony and
sustainability. The idea was to blend spiritual and
physical practices as moral responsibilities. The
Buddhist philosophy is based on the Eight fold
paths – Right Understanding, Right thought,
Right speech, Right action, Right Livelihood,
Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, Right
concentration.
7. PRACTICE OF AHIMSA /NON-VIOLENCE -
Non-violence is the way of good life and
prevents us from bad Karma. Ancient
philosophies, Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas show
us the path to sustainable living. Ancient
literature and philosophy believed that all living
beings deserve respect, compassion and care.
Mahatma Gandhi, the father of our nation
believed in Ahimsa /non-violence and used it as
a weapon to fight for our independence.
8. SOCIAL COHESION AND COOPERATIVES:
Ancient Indians attached high importance on
community values and relationships. They
believed in the common good and strong social
cohesion and cooperation that helped ensure
sustained prosperity and stability. Each

individual worked for the common good. This
practice of social harmony can enhance the
atmosphere for compassion and sustainable
living.
9. ANCIENT AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES
were highly close to the nature- Ancient India
was based on agriculture and animal husbandry.
The farmers undertook crop-rotation, used
natural manure like cow-dung. The ancient
civilization like Mohenjo-daro, Harappa boasted
of sound water management system. The Baolis,
dikes and tanks are proofs of efficient water
management styles.
10. ANCIENT ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS: The
houses in Indus valley civilization were made of
mud bricks, Woods, straw. The houses had large
windows and doors for proper ventilation and for
use of sunlight. The knowledge of water
management is evident from the existence of
ancient structures like Baolis, Johads, and tanks.
We need to revive the ancient practices of water
conservation-rain water harvesting and ground
water recharging.
11. LESSONS ON GOOD LIVING-Yoga, Khadi,
Ayurveda, Unnani are some of the practices,
which are not only unique contributions from
India but also are useful for attaining the SDGs
goals. Khadi and Charkha formed the symbol of
our freedom movement. India has immensely
promoted the Khadi by setting up the Khadi and
Village Industries Commission. As per the
Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprises (MSME), the production of Khadi
fabrics requires lesser water than the other
fabrics. The Government encourages the use of
solar power through subsidies and promotes
Khadi Industries. Hence, promotion of Khadi
Industries is a way to sustainable development,
as it helps save energy, save water and also
generate jobs. The popularity of Yoga is beyond
doubt. Yoga is India’s best gift towards SDGs.
Yoga teaches us to practice good living by
controlling our breath, minds and bodies. The
declaration of International Yoga Day (June 21st
)
by the UNO is a great achievement for India. The
Setting up of the Ministry of AYUSH, by the
Government of India in 2014, to develop
research, education and propagation of
traditional medicine is a remarkable effort in the
direction of sustainable health practices.
12. PLANT BASED SUBSTITUTES - FROM
KULHADS TO BANANA/SAL LEAVES
PLATES –Post- globalization era has seen the
pre-dominance in the use of plastics. Plastics
invaded the market as it is cheap and light
weight. Since plastic is a non-bio-degradable
item, the SDGs goals call for a ban on plastic.
India has a lot to offer in this direction. India has
not only a rich literature espousing the usages of
these plant-based products but can boasts of its
rich heritage and practices for the world to
emulate. Our ancestors’ use of Neem sticks as
tooth brushes, the use of Reetha/soap nuts are
evidences of lifestyles that were eco-friendly.
Donnas/Pattals are plates and bowls made from
Sal or Banyan/banana leaves stitched together
with wooden sticks which were widely used in
festivals, wedding ceremonies, and feasts all over
India till the cheap plastic substitutes arrived.
Though it is still widely used in tribal areas, it is
getting a revival in other areas too. Since
Kulhads (pottery) and leaf plates are bio-
degradable, it generates no waste at all. Also, use
of such products create employment
opportunities and add to the betterment of local
people.
Conclusion:
The paper concludes that it is imperative that
Governments/policy makers at all levels need to be
responsible and enact urgent corrective policy
measures to prevent further environmental damage.
India has taken over the G-20 Presidency and should
take this opportunity to espouse the ‘lessons from
Indian Philosophy’ to preserve its own environment
and at the same time learn and rehabilitate Mother
Earth. Develop we must, but by adopting a
harmonious use of the available resources. Our future
depends on our present practices/patterns of living
and we cannot afford to destroy the future of our
children. Ancient philosophy and literature around the
world has strong evidences of mankind’s close
relation to the environment. Ancient scriptures and
Literature from India and the world, also shows the
prevalence of sustainable and nature -friendly
practices.
Hence, we can derive useful lessons from the past, to
build a better and sustainable future. There is a need
for harmonious living with nature. In comparison to
our ancestors, we are better placed as technology and
knowledge is at our command. Hence, we need to act
fast to check the imbalances created by our invasive
mode of living. The ancient scriptures are proofs that
ancestors had wisdom and were respectful to nature
and other living beings and ensured sustainable living
practices. We should therefore ‘arise, awake and stop
not till the SDGs goal is reached’. There is no Planet
B, so it is our duty to mend our ways and preserve our
Mother Earth. The 28th
Conference of Parties (COP)

will be held in December 2023 in Dubai. Developing
countries have much expectations that developed
countries will deliver their promises under the UN
Framework Convention (UNFCCC) and the Paris
Agreement (https://unfccc.int/process-and-
meetings/the-paris-agreement). India has a big
responsibility to take care of its huge population and
also ensure that environmental policies are
implemented well. The fruits of development should
not be at the cost of environment.
