Sustainable Development in India and Its Future Prospects

The importance of science and technology (S&T) in understanding the roots of sustainability concerns and developing effective solutions is becoming more widely acknowledged. The CFCs used for food preservation, air-conditioning, and ozone depletion were all made possible by scientific and technological progress. In addition to raising the ozone alarm through study and monitoring, they also provided us the alternative technologies that have allowed us to keep fulfilling the demands that CFCs have served in a less harmful manner to the environment. The rise in agricultural yields and improved distribution networks that have kept much of the world from starvation are largely attributable to scientific and technological advancements, but they have come at the expense of severe environmental damage. In the twenty-first century, fostering sustainable transitions will need for a wide range of measures, not the least of which is better science and technology development and application.
