Sustainable development: inclusive growth and world peace

Abstract

Everyone will agree with me to pronounce loudly that this world is a beautiful place to live , with all its natural resources in the form of flora and fauna , rivers, mountains , seas and natural minerals including minerals. As everyone knows God Almighty is the creator of all these natural resources. He also facilitates the abundant use of these resources for the well-being of all His creations both humans and animals. Whereas the animals have evolved a kind of a self-dictated code in using the natural resources judiciously and also faithfully followed to adhere the code strictly , the human beings have never seem to have believed that the natural resources are to be shared by all God’s creations and indulged in indiscriminate exploitation of all natural resources. Systematic attempts to misuse the natural wealth of the land , water and minerals go unchecked with the patronage of governments world over. However , in the past , our forfathers followed a scientific approach to living and allowed the use of natural wealth by everyone. Efforts were consciously made to minimize the use of natural wealth. Everyone in the past was guided by a self-directed code. There was no official law of the land to keep a check on the people from minimizing or overusing the natural wealth. Everyone understood the need to use the natural wealth to the barest minimum. It was a way of life for the rich and poor alike to recognize the fact that the mother’s bounteous gift is not just for their use but for the entire fraternity and posterity.
