    Study Notes

    Resources and Development Overview

    • Resource development involves steps, including resource planning and conservation
    • Resource planning in India is a 3-step process
    • Land is a resource, and utilization, patterns, degradation, and conservation are vital considerations.
    • Soil is a resource, its classification, erosion, and conservation are important aspects.

    Must Know Section

    • Resource planning and conservation frequently appear in subjective questions.
    • Resource distribution equity is crucial for societal well-being.
    • Judicious use of resources is essential for human survival.
    • Resource planning involves precise steps that need thorough understanding.
    • Resource planning is a complex process and can be justified with evidence.

    Must Know Section (MCQ)

    • Main reasons for land degradation in Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha include overgrazing, mining, over-irrigation, and mineral processing.
    • Mining activities in Jharkhand contribute to land degradation.
    • Overgrazing in Gujarat leads to land degradation.
    • Soil identification can be based on statements. High temperatures, heavy rain, and low humus content are indicators.
    • Soil development factors include rainfall intensity, leaching, and humus content.

    Practice Questions

    • Depletion of resources, accumulation in the hands of a few, and societal division (rich vs. poor) are results of inappropriate resource use.
    • Global issues like global warming, ozone layer depletion, environmental pollution, and land degradation stem from improper resource exploitation.
    • Resource planning is a strategy crucial for balanced resource use in diversely available regions—balancing resource abundance and scarcity in India.
    • Resource planning involves identifying, inventorying resources across regions, developing plans, and matching those plans to the overall national development goals.

    Practice Questions (Land Degradation)

    • Land degradation lowers land quality and productivity, causing biodiversity loss, reduced agriculture, desertification, and soil erosion.
    • Deforestation, overgrazing, mining, and improper farming methods are key drivers of land degradation.
    • Natural processes like climate change and erosion also contribute to land degradation.
    • Steps to control land degradation involve afforestation, planting in arid regions, managing industrial/agricultural waste, managing wastelands, managing mining activities, and using proper irrigation and fertilizer practices.
