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.

The wealth of our nation depends on its Green Index, this is especially true in metros which are particularly poor in that regard. Hence the idea would be to give credits and tax benefits to people who care for the environment. Caring can be direct (via actual work) or in-direct (via donations and marketing) . Developing a phased Green transition using carrot (reward) and stick (penalty) approach is also interesting

I have heard about our Govt. is going to sanction a private airport in Aranmula in Kerala. Please visit this place to know how an airport will destroy the ecology and thus pollute the water resources. I request you to please look into this matter again. all the best for a Bright India.

Bollywood spent millions on advertisement of a film but how many take the courage to advertise/propagate folk music, art, dance and culture. The TV channels should organize shows/award ceremonies focusing on rural art & Craft.

Do we Indians know exactly the specialization and skill of all our rural folk of each region. First,MAP the same,advertise them to Indians and also to the world. Create a market and taste for rural produce. only then the rural produce can be sold and consumed by the people.

Like Chinese Govt assures/guaranteed their rural population to procure any sort of their rural produce by the marketing agencies. Similar approach with market efficiency should be developed for Indian rural produce specifically from natural resources.

The most practical solution to eliminate rural poverty is to focus mainly in rural infrastructure like agriculture, education, health care, power, transport etc. It will improve rural income & consumption and shall reduce inequality of income distribution. Better education/health care will moderate the rural population growth. In nutshell, we have to help rural disproportionately. BUT our veteran Political parties- left, centrist, socialist etc. wants to keep them poor by disrupting parliament.

I am resident of Faridabad. It is a industrial hub & due to this city comes under 10 most polluted cities. My idea is that if Municipal corporation strictly ask every industry to plant trees like neem,peepal ets. in their front & maintain them than we can improve greenary & pollution becomes less. In present time factories are using the MCF land as their parking lot which is not good.

Top soil should be excavated from any project that is being commissioned on existing farm land. This soil can be used to vitalize barren land and make it cultivable. Fertilizers should be only sold against the soil health card. This will control the soil quality and environmental damage with river contamination by fertilizer Government wheat flour distribution to poor should have 5-10% Moringa leaf powder to cope with malnutrition, protein and mineral deficiency
