"Planning is widely accepted strategy for judicious use of resources" What is the significance of resources planning in a country like india?
Resource planning can be understood as the using the available resource judiciously in a manner that we can use them today and conserve enough for the future generation. In India, there is a need for resource planning because:
- The availability of resources is very less.
- The population is too vast.
- Majority of the population cannot afford to have access to the resources.
- So it is the responsibility of the government to provide them the opportunity to get self-sufficient.

-
to identify the resources across the regions of the country. The methods can be surveying, mapping and qualitative and quantitative estimation and measurement of the resources.
-
To develop a planning structure endowed with appropriate technology, skill and institutional set up for implementing resource development plans.
