MANGALORE, MARCH 30. It is essential for India to develop its own model of sustainable development not influenced by Western ideas, K. Shivashankar, former lecturer, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, has said. He was delivering the keynote address at a seminar on "Development, environment, and media" organised by the Department of Mass Communication and Journalism, Mangalore University, here on Tuesday. Prof. Shivashankar cautioned against the growing trend where development helped individuals rather than society. It was important for India to usher in "equitable development" at a time when natural resources were shrinking. India had been adding around 18 million people to its population every year. The population doubled every 30 to 40 years. Recalling the words of Mahatma Gandhi that nature had enough to meet the needs of all persons, but not enough for a man's greed, he said even this saying would be stretched to its limits in days ahead.
