Importance of Natural Vegetation: Vegetation provides shelter to animals and provides us with timber and many other forest produce. Plants also produce oxygen when they make food and oxygen is the gas we breathe. Plants protect soil from degradation. Plants help in recharging the groundwater.

The major ideas expressed by Kabir include:

• Rejection of major religious traditions.
• Criticism of all forms of external worship of both Brahmanical Hinduism and Islam.
• Criticism of priestly classes and the caste system.
• Belief in a formless Supreme God.
• Emphasis on Bhakti or devotion to achieve salvation.

Kabir expressed his ideas in a vast collection of verses known as sakhis and pads. These are said to have been composed by him and sung by wandering bhajan singers.

Resources we have vary from time to time as some of these resources are non renewable and with the excess use of it in future we are going to face several problems regarding to natural resources for example
1. burning of fossil fuels
2. usage of water
3. inhalation of oxygen

• When the company saw a threat to its political or economic interests, it resorted to direct military confrontation, as happened in Mysore and many other kingdoms.
• Mysore had become powerful under rulers like Haider Ali and his son Tipu Sultan, and it controlled the profitable trade of the Malabar coast where the Company purchased pepper and cardamom.
• Tipu Sultan, in 1785, stopped the export of sandalwood, pepper, and cardamom through the ports of his kingdom, and disallowed local merchants from trading with the Company. This angered the company very much.
• The Company lost four wars to Mysore, but in the last one, the Battle of Seringapatam, the company won and Tipu Sultan was kille

Resource development means the study, establishment, and implementation of additional resources or services which will extend the capabilities of community long-term care systems to better serve long-term care clients. 

Resource development means development should take place without damaging the environment and development in the present should not destroy the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Therefore, it is our duty to ensure that:-

a) all uses of renewable resources are sustained.

b) The diversity of life on Earth is conserved.

c) The population and distribution of rare and threatened species should be increased.

d) Damage to the natural environment should be minimised.

e) Recycling of reusable goods should be increased.

f) An alternative resource is used if made available.

• Long-lived radioactive elements such as uranium, thorium and potassium and any of their decay products, such as radium and radon are examples of NORM. These elements have always been present in the Earth's crust and atmosphere, and are concentrated in some places, such as uranium orebodies which may be mined.
• Bauxite, a major aluminium ore. The red-brown colour is due to the presence of iron oxide minerals.
• Coal is the most abundantly found fossil fuel in India. Its three major forms are Anthracite, Bituminous and Lignite.
• Measures to conserve minerals :

1. Use of minerals in a planned and sustainable manner.
2. Recycling of metals.
3. Use of alternative renewable substitutes.
4. Technology should be improved to use the low-grade ores profitably.

• Minerals are classified on the basis of their chemical composition, which is expressed in their physical properties. This module, the second in a series on minerals, describes the physical properties that are commonly used to identify minerals. These include color, crystal form, hardness, density, luster, and cleavage.

Stock resources are resources that can be permanently expended, and are therefore non-renewable, and whose quantity is usually expressed in absolute amounts rather than in rates. Examples are coal and petroleum deposits. Resources which come from non-living sources are called abiotic resources, e.g. soil, rocks and minerals. Biotic Resource: Resources which come from living beings are called biotic resource, e.g. milk, leather, timber, etc. Stock resources are resources that can be permanently expended, and are therefore non-renewable, and whose quantity is usually expressed in absolute amounts rather than in rates. Examples are coal and petroleum deposits.

Indian Indigo is in high demand because it was manufactured by the plants which is cheaper in cost and easily foundable. its cost is very low as compare to dye which was imported from foreign. The gestures of Indian indigo is good as well shining easily moldable to any design. To grow indigo crop such measures are not imposed as it is simply used in dye production. But the farmers refused to grow that in their field because if opium or indigo is grown for one time then no other crop can be grown in that soil.

Renewable substances are the substances which can used and regenerated over a long period of time .In one word he resources which can be renewed or reproduced by physical chemical or mechanical process are known as renewable or replenishable resources.

These resources have the ability to remove themselves in a given period of time.

Few forms of renewable resources are water, wind and solar energy.

1) Water or hydroelectricity: Energy made from moving water

2) Solar : energy received fro the Sun.

3) Geothermal energy: energy from the heat of the Earth.

Why the need for renewable energy:

1) Use of non-renewable resources contaminate environment.

2) The renewable resources are replenishable unlike the non-renewable resources.

3) Fossil fuels are already scarce.

Industrialization causes the income of people to rise, and improves their standard of living. There is a rise in income, and so rate of savings, rate of investment and rate of spending also rises automatically. This is an important event for the rapid growth of a country. International companies sell their products worldwide, but many manufacture their goods in developing countries. ... Also, governments in developing countries often give international companies incentives, such as lower taxes and fewer regulations, to persuade them to set up factories.

• In 1600, the East India Company acquired a charter from the ruler of England, Queen Elizabeth I, granting it the sole right to trade with the East, without competition from other British traders.
• But that royal charter could not stop other European powers such as the Portuguese, Dutch, and French. And all those European companies wanted to buy the same things from India - fine qualities of cloth and spices.
• As competition grew, profits fell, and the European trading companies started building forts and fighting each other.
• With more business came more conflicts with Indian rulers, and it became difficult for the European traders to keep their business separate form Indian politics.

The Indian Constitution is both federal & unitary in nature as it is a combination of federal & unitary features. In the federal set-up, there is a two-tier government with well-assigned powers & the functions of all the parts. Often a major change in the Constitution means a change in the fundamental nature of the country. We saw this in the case of Nepal and how it needs to adopt a new Constitution after it has recently become a democratic society. The Constitution has three main functions. First it creates a national government consisting of a legislative, an executive, and a judicial branch, with a system of checks and balances among the three branches. Second, it divides power between the federal government and the states.

The Residents were the political or commercial agents and their job was to serve and further the interests of the Company. Residents were the political agents of the Britishers who served the interests of the company. Through them, the company started interfering in the internal affairs of Indian states.

Historians divided Indian History into ancient, medieval and modern. But this classification has its own problems. This periodisation is borrowed from the West where modern period is associated with the growth and development sciences, rationalism, humanism, logic, freedom and equality. The term 'Medieval' was used to describe a society which was not democratic and liberal. 
However, in the Indian context ,the British period in history cannot be termed as 'modern' because Indians were denied liberty, equality and justice. There was no economic progress and the Indian industires declined rapidly. Thus, it is appropriate to term this period as 'colonial'.
