In modern times natural resources are the key to economic development as these are the base of various industries. According to the Industrial Commission our country possesses almost all the minerals which are required for basic industries. Their exploitation and utilization can make the country industrially self-dependent. The power resources are the base for the industrial and agricultural prosperity of a country. In fact, per capita utilization of energy is an indicator of measuring standard of living in a country. These resources are the measure of strength and advancement for the cultivation of a nation. The present book entitled "Natural Resource Conservation and Environment Management" has been divided into three parts. Part I deals with natural resources, their conservation, environment degradation and its management. Part II of the book describes ferrous, non-ferrous and non-metallic minerals while Part III concerns with exhaustible and renewable energy resources.
