ABSTRACT
The processes of Exploitation,
Mismanagement, and unhealthy Utilization of Natural Resources and resulted
Pollution added with the approaches of Business Oriented Development ends up
with the occurrence of hazards and disasters. Resources includes Air, water, food,
plants, animals, minerals, metals, and everything else that exists in nature and
the value of each such resource depends on its utility and other factors for
the benefit of people, environment and community. Water is the most precious
natural resources without which development cannot be planned and there is no
life. It is observed that Nation has got sufficient resources to cater the needs
of the people but not their greed. In view of the consequences of
Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization and shift from people oriented
development to business oriented development have resulted for unhealthy
challenges resulting for Global Warming, and Climate Change with hazards and
disasters. Everyone on this Globe either directly or indirectly is facing the
impact out of theses hazards and disasters which are alarming with or without
solution. The recent health hazard or environmental emergency all over the
Globe is alarming. The positive view of such unhealthy situation or environment
is to look for better solutions as opportunities. Civil Society Organizations
(CSOs) do play significant role along with Government and Private on
partnership basis to reach the unreached with strategies as solutions with sustainability
and quality. The initiatives are need based and resulted impact is significant
to work for the wellbeing of People, Environment and Nation. The models and strategies
of the study are simple, flexible, scalable, replicable and sustainable.
