As the Indian population continues to grow there will be an immense competition for natural resources while achieving food, nutritional, environmental and livelihood security in the country. In addition, the negative consequences of climate change become more evident in agriculture with exploitation of natural resources, decline in soil fertility, ground water levels to meet the ever increasing demands for food and nutritional requirements. To maintain sustainable balance between natural resources and the demand, immediate attention is needed in several areas viz., imbalanced use of fertilizers, declining soil organic carbon, lowering of water table, soil health, organic farming and climate change impact in agriculture sector.

Recent studies on soil biodiversity, rapid composting techniques, use of bio-filters for removal of heavy metals from compost, application of Nano sensors in agriculture to improve nutrient use efficiency, need based fortification of micro nutrients; availability of soil health card, conservation agriculture for enhancing soil health etc. will support sustainable management of natural resources in agriculture.

With a particular focus on scientific and technical understanding of natural resources management, this portal tries to incorporate stakeholders suggestions in achieving sustainable natural resources management.

Pollution levels in urban areas have already reached dangerous levels in urban areas. Short and long time strategies to overcome the issue are required immediately for health and well being of present and future generations. It is already very late and we cannot afford to lose time any further Of many measures massive tree plantation drive can be started this monsoon itself. Let forests be developed with active participation of villagers and unemployed rural folks and generate employment

Trees which give more of wood or food should be encouraged. This way we can get more business, more profit and tackle food problem. Trees like Amla, jackfruit, mangoes, jamun, litchi, guavava, pomegrenate can become the pride of land along railway tracks and highways. These trees not only give fuits but also support wildlife.

All National Highways should have trees which are profit-making, i.e. which generate business too, should be planted. These trees should be area specific, i.e. in Varanasi one can have Langra Mano trees, in Lucknow -Kanpur Dussehri Mango, in Odisha and Kerala one can have cashew nut trees.

Pre mansoon maintenance of various system has to be done. of Seveage system to prevent leakage in to rain water flow. water supply system to prevent it from contamination. Current practice of using sevage system for carrying extra rain water just increases the magnitude of contamination. If rainwater is given separate route then problem of contamination may not be their. Municipalities may think over it. isolating sevage from rain water will solve many problems and save money.
