Relevance of Gandhian Thoughts to Environmental Challenges in the Modern Era
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 12, No 3 (2023) pp. 19-22
Abstract
The emergence of environmental challenges begins with applications of the different development models as both have vis-à-vis relationships. Sustainable development is a modern concept in which the complementary aspect of two opposites is considered as a key factor and provides a route to gradual development which favours to environment of the planet Earth and matches with the Gandhian thought of development. Gandhian thoughts are deep-rooted in the rich Indian tradition of world welfare. This paper finds the application of Gandhian thoughts to mobilize the generation for acceptance of development models suitable for planet Earth in terms of environmental concerns and the long existence of natural ecology.
