Sustainable Development
As per the Brundtland Commission
Formerly known as the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED),
Sustainable development is
development that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own needs
In the Industrial Scenario…
Sustainable Development in the industrial scenario and specially in India is seen as
Environment protection
Energy conservation
Control over pollution
Prevention of ecological imbalances
But…
What happens to the people,
Who pioneered in the Trait/Trade but
Who were ultimately left behind, in the race towards progress.
The Human Paradigm…
This paper talks about the Human Paradigm to Sustainable Development.
The paper speaks that when we talk about Sustainable Development, we should also talk about …
The people who developed those trades
The people who pioneered those traits
The people who got us there
For a moment lets us think why and why not?

Some Observations
"While India has millions of unskilled workers, it doesn't have enough trained masons, carpenters and machine operators to construct the roads, railways and ports it needs," reported Bloomberg.
As per K.V. Rangaswami, president of construction at Mumbai-based Larsen & Tubro,
"Lack of a trained workforce will be a major setback to the economy if the shortage isn't solved".
"Skills cannot be imparted overnight," he said.


"Lack of skilled workers impacts on three fronts: quality, delivery and costs."
