Unit V :- Sustainable development in Agriculture and Industry : In this unit<br />
the module through case studies will discuss policies, practices and<br />
strategies needed for addressing sustainability concerns in the two most<br />
important sectors <strong>of</strong> the Indian economy. India’s agricultural policy has thus<br />
far laid emphasis on raising agricultural production through high<br />
technological inputs but attention has not been paid to the need to conserve<br />
and sustainable use <strong>of</strong> India’s rich agricultural diversity, particularly in the<br />
face <strong>of</strong> the overwhelming forces <strong>of</strong> completion as exemplified by WTO. In<br />
industrial sector; the management <strong>of</strong> industrial wastes, which was seen as a<br />
necessary evil and dealt with apathy, is now the focus <strong>of</strong> corporate<br />
strategies. Waste minimization, cleaner production and energy efficiency are<br />
now seem as pr<strong>of</strong>itable practices.<br />
