Pre-rationalised NCERT: “Indian culture and civilisation have been very sensitive to the issues of population, resource and development for a long time. … Mahatma Gandhi in the recent times advocated the reinforcement of the harmony and balance between the two. … His views were also re-echoed in the Club of Rome Report “Limits to Growth” (1972), Schumacher’s book “Small is Beautiful” (1974), Brundtland Commission’s Report “Our Common Future” (1987) and finally in the “Agenda-21 Report of the Rio Conference” (1993).” |
