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, We all know our right to avail opportunities from the government but fail in performing our duties. I am happy to learn that 3 R technology is being adopted by Ministry of Environment for noble cause to protect the environment and conserve the natural resources. Please direct M.P. and M.L.A to make green-land by Plantation in their respective constituencies.This will help in combating air pollution i.e rise in ambient temperature and climate change.

How we dispose tons dead dry leaves, year on year? Disposal is done by burning the dry leaves. This not only pollute the environment but also wastes a useful resource. Dry leaves can be palatalized and can used as fuel or making manure. Choice is yours.. Rural and urban poor can make money by palatalization of the dry leaves and selling it as alternate fuel.

Along with saving trees, we have to grow more and more trees also. Now a days, in metro cities pollution is a big problem and to sought out this, more and more trees is a best solution. I request Mr. Prime minister to have a special attention towards planting more and trees in metro cities(like delhi, mumbai etc.). And if possible, there must be a movement related to this.

Wastes from humans and animals should be recycled as green manure at the same time entire rural India needs to be equiped with solar energy panels (cow dung cake as household fuel needs to be gradually phased out!)

Natural resources are being used by bigger corporate managements for generating their own money. They cannot just eat away the nature that belongs to all living beings. If they are consuming it they should also be bestowed with the responsibility to plant trees,plant forests,create lakes etc and maintain them.they just can't get away simply making money for themselves and paying some nominally paid tax.
