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.

Sir, If, my suggestion of online monitoring to prevent and protect the environment from degradation is found feasible , I am confident, govt. can save foreign exchange, equipment would run for longer period and free from down time with preventive measures. By this industry can get rid of pollution problems and enhance their profit easily. Hope your dream / vision of make in India can be achieved at the earliest. Government should come forward as a partner of industry not work as a inspector .

Sir, please ask to review the direction and time should be extended for installation of equipment. First of all, they have to install waste treatment plant and run at its optimum efficiency to plug the drains of their profit by such equipment with 3M and take further measures by 3R in the zeal of conservation of resources. Please ask industry to go for greenery by heavy plantation at least 70% of their land. If, they do sincerely, they can improve their profitability.

Sir, As suggested earlier, it is my humble submission please ask M.P., M.L.A. and govt. officers to give green look instead of white by heavy plantations of our land because they have plenty of funds and are in a position to do their best. Then, we can protect environment from severe droughts, floods , land slides and climate change. If, not done in time, our coming generation would have to suffer as we are suffering at present. Impact has come up due to unplanned extraction of natural resources

There are so thousands of people who have money and want to invest at right place. Why not ask such rich people to come to villages and adopt entire/ part village. This will relieve farmres from burden of buying seeds, selling produce or arranging water or buying tools for cultivations. They will get their share and the rest the investor will sell in the market.

One of the ideas would be especially in agriculture sector to promote collective farming managed and run govt. agencies. Choose farmers who own less than 2 or 3 acres of land in drought hit areas or red zone areas. Enter into contract with land owners to do collective farming, employe them under manrega and workout a profit sharing model with farmers where govt would invest in cultivation and profit would shared as per the agreement. I am mainly worried about farmer suicides!!
