Full Description
This book presents the emerging sustainability concerns for India to achieve holistic development. India is densely populated with scattered natural resources and is engaged in developing technology and its infrastructure. However, India's sustainability is questioned from the viewpoints of environment, society, economy and politics. As the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aims to achieve a sustainable world by 2030, India has to relook at its current development approaches and make effective policy measures.
Geography is an interdisciplinary branch of social science that focuses on the interrelationships among population, natural resources, social linkages, governments and public policy. Within this interdisciplinary concept, the book presents a collection of studies from scholars in India. We ask questions such as, (1) what major geographical approaches and perspectives exist related to sustainability, (2) how socioeconomic and political factors affects sustainability and SDGs, (3) what approach is the most effective from the sustainability perspective, and (4) how we address sustainability issues.
The book serves as a valuable reference for those who are concerned with the progress of sustainability in India.
