People, i.e. humans, are a nation’s greatest resource, it is one of the building blocks for a nation’s development. It is humans, with their skills and abilities that can transform and extract or add value to other resources. Hence, human resources are the ultimate resource.

Total economic value (TEV) is a concept in cost–benefit analysis that refers to the value derived by people from a natural resource, a man-made heritage resource or an infrastructure system, compared to not having it. It appears in environmental economics as an aggregation of the (main function based) values provided by a given ecosystem.
The value of an ecosystem can be distinguished as:

Use Value – Can be split into Direct and Indirect use values:

Direct use value: Obtained through a removable product in nature (i.e. timber, fish, water).

Indirect use value: Obtained through a non-removable product in nature (i.e. sunset, waterfall).

Non-use value – Values for existence of the natural resource. For example, knowing that tigers are in the wild, even though you may never see them.

Option value: Placed on the potential future ability to use a resource even though it is not currently used and the likelihood of future use is very low. This reflects the willingness to preserve an option for potential future use.

Nuclear Energy is the energy in the core of an atom. Where an atom is a tiny particle that constitutes every matter in the universe. Normally, the mass of an atom is concentrated at the centre of the nucleus. Neutrons and Protons are the two subatomic particles that comprehend the nucleus. There ex a st massive amount of energy in bonds that bind atoms together.

Nuclear Energy is discharged by nuclear reactions either by fission or fusion. In nuclear fusion, atoms combine to form a larger atom. In nuclear fission, the division of atoms takes place to form smaller atoms by releasing energy. Nuclear power plants produce energy using nuclear fission. Sun produces energy using mechanism of nuclear fusion.

Natural resources are resources that exist without any actions of humankind. This includes all valued characteristics such as commercial and industrial use, aesthetic value, scientific interest and cultural value. On Earth, it includes sunlight, atmosphere, water, land along with all vegetation, and animal life. Natural resources are Earth materials used to support life and meet the needs of people. Any organic material used by humans can be considered as a natural resource. Natural resources include oil, coal, natural gas, metals, stone, and sand. Air, sunlight, soil, and water are other natural resources.

Cotton and silk textiles had a huge market in Europe. Indian textiles were by far the most popular, both for their fine quality and exquisite craftsmanship. Different varieties of Indian textiles were sold in the Western markets; for example, chintz, cossaes or khassa, bandanna and jamdani. Kazuo Kobayashi explains how the demand for Indian cotton textiles among Africans underpinned the trans-Atlantic slave trade in the eighteenth century.

The British set up their first factories on western coast because Surat in the state of Gujarat had a long coastline. Further, several ships from Persia, Africa and East Asia arrived at Surat for trade purposes. The Western coast of India was well connected to Africa, Middle east Asia and Europe (via the sea route).

According to Hindu mythology, Nepal derives its name from an ancient Hindu sage called Ne, referred to variously as Ne Muni or Nemi. According to Pashupati Purana, as a place protected by Ne, the country in the heart of the Himalayas came to be known as Nepal.

Lord Mountbatten

Lord Mountbatten was the last viceroy of the British Indian Empire and the first Governor-General of independent India. Lord Mountbatten has some plans and provisions for the development of India. On the midnight of 14th and 15th August in the year 1947, the dominions of Pakistan and India respectively came into existence and started their journey of independent countries.

Four main castes were prevalent in India in those days- Brahmans, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas and Shudras.
Brahmans and Kshatriyas considered themselves as “upper castes”. Traders and moneylenders were called Vaisyas. Peasants, weavers and potters were called Shudras.
At the lowest rung were people who laboured to keep cities and villages clean. They were treated as “untouchable”. They were not allowed to enter temples, draw water from the wells used by the upper castes, or bathe in ponds where upper castes bathed. They were seen as inferior human beings.

Sustainable development means using resources wisely without damaging the environment and keeping in mind the need of future generations. This can be achieved by making the right balance between using the resources to meet our present needs and conserving them for future.

What is resource conservation?

A n s w e r 

Using resources carefully and giving them time to get renewed is called resource conservation. If not conserved, the resources that are already available in limited quantities will get exhausted.

Warren Hastings was the first Governor-General of Fort William or Governor-General of Bengal , he took office on 20 October 1773, appointed by the Court of Directors of the East India Company.

Moving away from British classification, historians have usually divided Indian history into ‘ancient’, ‘medieval’ and ‘modern’. This division too has its problems:

It is a periodisation that is borrowed from the West where the modern period was associated with the growth of all the forces of modernity – science, reason, democracy, liberty and equality. Medieval was a term used to describe a society where these features of modern society did not exist.

British rule people did not have equality, freedom or liberty. Nor was the period one of economic growth and progress. Many historians therefore refer to this period as ‘colonial’.

Judicial Review: Judiciary has the power to strike down particular laws passed by the Parliament, if it believes that these are a violation of the basic structure of the Constitution. This is called judicial review.

Earth is called a blue planet because it appears blue in the photographs taken from space by satellites.
The reason for this is that three- fourth if the earth is covered by water (oceans, seas and other water bodies)and the remaining part is land. So our planet is called the blue planet

When Starbucks was getting started way back in 1971, they wanted to capture the seafaring history of coffee and Seattle’s strong seaport roots. They took their time did a lot research poring over old marine books. They eventually came across a 16th century Norse woodcut of a twin-tailed mermaid, or Siren. The seductive mystery mixed with a nautical theme that was exactly what the founders were looking for. A logo was designed around her, and our long relationship with the Siren began. 

It was in South Africa that Gandhi raised a family, and first employed nonviolent resistance in a campaign for civil rights. In 1915, aged 45, he returned to India. He set about organising peasants, farmers, and urban labourers to protest against excessive land-tax and discrimination. After over 21 years stay in South Africa, Gandhi returned to India on January 9, 1915 with his wife Kasturba.

After its independence in August 1947, India faced huge challenges. Some of the major challenges are as follows:

• After partition, 8 million refugees had come from Pakistan. Rehabilitation of these refugees was a big challenge.
• There were about 500 hundred princely states; which needed to be assimilated into the country.
• The huge population of India was divided along caste and communal lines. The country had always been a diverse one with numerous cultures.
• The economy was totally dependent on agriculture; which was dependent on the monsoon. A large number of factory workers were poor and were living in slums. The nation was in abject poverty.

The capitals of the Bombay, Bengal and Madras Presidencies in British India were called ‘‘Presidency Cities”. Their special features were :
(i) They were multi-functional cities, they had major ports, warehouses, homes and offices,army camps as well as educational institutions, museums and libraries.
(ii) A large number of people lived in these cities. Bombay had a population of nearly 1,500,000 people in 1941 as compared to 644,405 in 1872. The cities combined political and economic functions for the entire region.
