water supplies, irrigation and canals, drainage and embankments, water stor- age and water power. What the way ahead? Establishment of dispute resolution tribunal is the option. According to the Interstate dispute Act of 1956, a state government that may request the central government to refer the dispute to a tribunal consisting of a chairman and two members nominated by the Chief Jus- tice of India from among judges of the Supreme Court. These tribunals investi- gate the matter and make a fi nal and bind- ing resolution of the confl ict. In India, 85% of the rivers are interstate and several dispute have arisen over the sharing of river water. Unfortunately tribunals con- stituted to resolve inter state water disputes proved to be a time consuming process, often requiring many years to achieve real confl ict resolution. Hence, this precipitates demand for fi nding alternatives in tackling such a scenario and the centre should take proactive step in this regard. Way Forward Development desired by all. To pave way for smooth development it is necessary to frame policies that would take all onboard and their issue and concerns. In this regard the most important step would be to protect the environment. A run of the river project is ideal as it will be helpful to convince the locals that culture would be respected. An assessment of the impact on lower riparian state should be carried out as it will help to clear doubts of the lower riparian states. Meanwhile, the locals should be provided the opportunity to enjoy fruits of the development that would be coming following establishment of power projects, like — school could be run by these power projects for the neigh- bouring areas, free power and even sharing of revenues earned from these projects with affected villages could be considered. Public Hearing should be made without fail so that everyone could express their views. Most important in this regard is to build bridges with the locals and this requires engagement with tribal leaders and local people. Again, proper arrangement of compensation should be made in line with the local tradition and norms. Looking at the vest opposition to dams there is urgent need to encourage participation of multi-stake holders. A dialogue need to be developed among stake-hold- R ESOURCE PLANNING ers like environmentalist, tribal leaders, civil society, representative of lower riparian states, engineer, private company, representative of state and central governments existing informal groups working on human rights. The dialogue will be helpful in consensus building and fi nding alternatives. However, a credible leadership on the part of the government is necessary to sustain the process.

P LANNING P ARADIGM Where's Natural Resources in the Development Strategy? Paucity of natural resources can cause diminishing output per worker; integrating natural resources with the planning of development strategy is indispensable to attain a steady state where economic growth depends mainly on the rate of technological progress leading to sustainable economic growth Debnarayan Sarker Professor and Secretary, Centre for Economic Studies, Presidency College, Kolkata Natural resources, especially, has a pivotal role in the livelihoods of rural people: predominantly the poor of the world depends directly on natural resources, through cultivation, herding, collecting or hunting for their livelihoods. Therefore, for the livelihoods to be sustained, the natural resources must be sustained (Rennie and Singh, 1996: 16,cit- ed in Reddy et al., 2004:300). Natural resources are the basis for most rural economic activities and therefore are especially important for poor people. Economic opportunities from sustainable use of natural resources can act as a cata- lyst in reducing poverty and improving food security (World Bank, 2005: 224). Improved natural resource management has increased soil fertility and water reten- tion, reserved soil erosion, improved water management, maintained and/or improved biodiversity, reduced habitat destruction, and reduced deforestation.
