Progressive Advancement for Sustainable Environment in India

Abstract

India has one of the most prosperous natural environmental assets which should not be abandoned by excessive consumption.  Environmental sustainability is the maintenance of environment in such a way that its resources are used by current generations and preserved for the forthcomings. India has a rich culture of traditions and rituals since ancient time. Religious believes and traditions were thoughtful for environmental conservation and swapped around nature. During different ere various conservation strategies were designed and followed. But as time passed environmental resources tend to be exploited and need for their conservation arose. In Modern times since many decades there is not only a continuous effort to spread awareness for environmental sustainability, but various efforts have been made by governments in the form of protection acts, rules, and summits at national and international levels. This article is an effort to summarise sustainability practices from ancient time to current era, to compare them and discuss future perspectives.
