Psychological Pressure on Natural Resources for Sustainable Development: A Case of Jharkhand

Author(s) Dr. Dilkeshwar Prasad, Dr. Prity Verma
Country India
Abstract Abstract

Jharkhand is a land rich in forests, rivers, minerals and wildlife. A large section of its population depends on these natural resources for daily sustenance. However, these resources are now under increasing pressure—both physical and psychological. The growing demand for rapid economic development by individuals, industries and the government has intensified exploitation of nature, creating a conflict between conservation and utilization.
Villagers often cut trees for fuel or farming, while the youth seek employment in mining and industrial sectors. Political and community leaders promise quick development but often overlook its environmental costs. Large-scale mining for coal, iron and other minerals degrades forests, water bodies and tribal habitats, leading to social and emotional strain among local communities who live close to nature.
Achieving sustainable and lasting development requires a balance between use and preservation. Development should not only be measured by infrastructure and industrial growth but also by the quality of air, water, greenery and human well-being. Awareness, education, community participation and small-scale eco-friendly livelihoods can help reduce both ecological and psychological pressures.
This paper explores how mental and social stress influence the use of natural resources in Jharkhand and proposes ways to move towards a more harmonious and sustainable future.
