Resource development relies on an interdependent relationship between nature, technology, and institutions. Resources can be renewable like solar and wind energy, or non-renewable like minerals and fossil fuels. Resources can also be owned individually, by communities, nationally, or internationally. Potential resources have not been utilized yet, while developed resources have been surveyed and reserves determined. Sustainable development means economic development without damaging the environment or future generations. Proper resource utilization and conservation are necessary for India's balanced development.
