A great deal of discussion continues as to the real extent of global environmental
degradation and its implications. What few people challenge however, is that the
renewable natural resources of developing countries are today subject to stresses
of unprecedented magnitude. These pressures are brought about, in part by increased
population and the quest for an ever expanding food supply. Because the health,
nutrition and general well being of the poor majority are directly dependent on the
integrity and productivity of their natural resources, the capability of governments to
manage them effectively over the long term ‘becomes of paramount importance.
Developing countries are becoming more aware of the ways in which present
and future economic development must build upon a sound and sustainable
natural resource base. Some are looking at our long tradition in environmental
protection and are receptive to US assistance which recognized the uniqueness
of the social and ecological systems in these tropical countries. Developing countries
recognize the need to improve their capability to analyse issues and their own natural
resource management. In February 1981, for example AID funded a National, Academy of
Sciences panel to advise Nepal on, their severe natural resource degradation problems.
Some countries such as Senegal, India, Indonesia and Thailand, are now including conservation
concerns in their economic development planning process.
Because so many governments of developing nations have recognised the
importance of these issues, the need today is not merely one of raising additional
consciousness, but' for carefully designed and sharply focused activities aimed at
the establishment of effective resource management regimes that are essential to
the achievement of sustained development.

horizon has hardly ever exceeded five years. Investments have been inadequate for new
plants and towards diversification and expansions. Modernization and asset creation has
seriously lagged behind. In business, growth is needed for survival; one has to grow if one
does not want to be wiped out. This is particularly true today with liberalization of imports
and increasing competition. Moreover, growth and higher productivity create employment
and higher employment creates larger markets both for industrial and consumer products.

Although cynics may like to see the government’s policy for women in terms of the party’s
internal power struggles, it will nevertheless be churlish to deny that it represents a
pioneering effort aimed at bringing about sweeping social reforms. In its language, scope
and strategies, the policy document displays a degree of understanding of women’s needs
that is uncommon in government pronouncements. This is due in large part to the participatory
process that marked its formulation, seeking the active involvement right  from the start of
women’s groups, academic institutions and non-government organizations with grass roots
experience. The result is not just a lofty declaration of principles hut a blueprint for a practical
programme of action. The policy delineates a series of concrete measures to accord women a
decision-making role in the political domain and greater control over their economic status.
Of especially far-reaching impact is the devolution of control of economic infrastructure to
women, notably at the gram Panchayat level, and the amendments proposed in the Hindu
Succession Act of 1956 to give women coparcenaries rights.
An enlightened aspect of the policy is its recognition that actual change in the status of
women cannot be brought about by the mere enactment of socially progressive legislation,
Accordingly, it focuses on reorienting development programmes and sensitising administrations
to address specific situations as, for instance, the growing number of Households headed by women,
which is a consequence of rural-urban migration. The proposal to create an equals opportunity police
force and give women greater control of police stations is an acknowledgement of the biases and
callousness displayed by the generally all male law-enforcement authorities in cases of dowry and
domestic violence, While the mere enunciation of such a policy has the salutary effect of sensitising
the administration as a whole, it does not make the task of its implementation any easier.

This is because the changes it envisages in the political and economic status of women
strike at the root of power structures in society and the basis of man-woman relationships.
There is also the danger that reservation for women in public life, while necessary for their
greater visibility, could lapse into tokenism or become a tool in the hands of vote seeking
politicians. Much will depend on the dissemination of the policy and the ability of elected
representatives and government agencies to reorder their priorities.
