Sustainable development means that a development should meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
The issue of sustainable development has emerged from rapid industrialisation of the world in the past century. It is felt that the economic growth and industrialisation have led to reckless exploitation of natural resources. Sustainability promotes a rational use of natural resources.
The earth has enough non-renewable resources to meet our present and future needs for development if we use them in an economic manner. But, if we use them recklessly in the greed of rapid economic development, our world may become a vast waste land.

Sustainable development is the key to the stable growth of economy. It will not only lead to the development of the present economy but will also lead to its development in the future. It means that development should take place without damaging the environment, and development in the present should not compromise with the needs of the future generations. This concept stresses the role of the environment as capital that, if exhausted, cannot be replaced. It requires preservation of human capital, physical capital and natural capital

Minerals are the ores from which iron may or may not be extracted. e.g.pyrolusite, cuprite.

A mineral is a naturally occurring chemical compound,usually of crystalline form and not produced by life processes. A mineral has one specific chemical composition, whereas a rock can be an aggregate of different minerals or mineraloids. The study of minerals is called mineralogy. Example: copper, magnese, bauxite

• Almost everything that we use in our daily life, from a tiny pin to a towering building or a big ship, all are made from minerals.
• The railway lines and the paving of the roads, machinery, implements and tools too are made from minerals. Cars, buses, trains, aeroplanes are manufactured from minerals and run on power resources derived from the earth.
• Even the food that we eat contains minerals. Toothpaste that cleans our teeth uses abrasive minerals like silica, limestone, aluminium oxide and various phosphate minerals for the cleaning purpose.
• In conclusion we can say that in all stages of development, human beings have used minerals for their livelihood, decoration, festivities, religious and ceremonial rites.
• The tertiary age deposits, only about 55 million years old, are mostly found in North-Eastern : India in Meghalaya, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland.

Federalism is a system of government in which the power is divided between a central authority and various constituent units of the country. Usually, a federation has two levels of government. One is the government for the entire country that is usually responsible for a few subjects of common national interest.

To start, let's bring out some data points to give a context to the discussion. As per the data released by the Johannesburg-based company New World Wealth, India is the second-most unequal country globally, with millionaires controlling 54% of its wealth. With a total individual wealth of $5,600 billion, it’s among the 10 richest countries in the world – and yet the average Indian is relatively poor. This problem is created because of- Social sector spending : we spend close to 4% of our GDP on education and health which is abysmally low by any standard. Quality education and health is a luxury that only rich and upper middle class can afford in this country. Other comparable countries, Brazil, Sa, China spend close to 8–10% on their GDP on education and health… A higher uneducated and unhealthy society would continue to remain engaded in the primary sector of employment and not join the formal/organized workforce. This limits the chances of people coming out of poverty and joining the middle class. Taxation : There are 2 type of taxes we pay, direct and indirect taxes, former being the progressive taxation and later being regressive. So if you would want to reduce income inequality, you would try to get more from direct taxes (income tax and corporation tax) so that the burden on indirect taxes are less. In india we get close to 1/3rd of taxes from direct taxes whereas this ratio is around 50% for many comparable countries. Raising tax rates is virtually impossible due to political reasons even though tax rates in India are low… maximum being 33% for top brackets, which is in range of 40% or more in most advanced countries. So government needs to increase the tax base by stopping tax evasion. Middle class Apathy: At the risk of sounding judgemental, dare I say that the great Indian middle class ( I include myself) is very self serving. It has an extraordinary sense of entitlement and almost non existent sense of citizenship. It has abandoned the responsibility of raising issues concerning the citizenry at large. Generally middle class has been the avant-garde of the movements for equal rights and opportunity, universalisation of all basic services, building public spaces etc. Still today we hear cases of people not allowed in temples, public place ??? Although an optimist in general, I am afraid we may not see any significant improvement on wealth distribution in near future. It may even get worse unless urgent and bold steps are taken by the government. Thanks

Because India's physical topography is not same in all regions.
