The world needs professionals with value based management skills, knowledge and techniques to provide an environment where pro active individuals can take responsibility to solve problems of human survival especially in the field of Natural Resource Management for sustainable development.

The key source of “wealth” and “capital” are product of natural resource (forest, land and water in particular), and labour. Productivity results from effective combination of these two, natural capital and human capital. The revealing realisation, while assessing the human capital, that management and technical skills does not have favourable results in the long run if one works against the natural law of sustainability.

Thus ‘knowledge management’, ‘human values’, ‘sustainable development’, ‘organisational transformation’ have become important concepts in management and development theory for the educational and training programmes. This facilitates combining insights and applying them to organisational learning enables us to clarify conditions under which learning and knowledge creation take place. The question emerges naturally in our mind whether it is a utopian idea to translate the above mentioned conceptual thoughts into reality.

The issues of sustainable development will cover all the areas of understanding the environment and natural resources around human society and to enhance productivity to meet the need of the present generation without compromising the need of the future generations on sustainable basis.

In the age of consumerism and crisis of natural resources, a new breed of professionals with human values are urgently needed who can have a comprehensive knowledge of  biological, social, technical and managerial skills in an integrated manner.  It is becoming increasingly important to have a management qualification like BBA (H) in NRM for sustainable development where the trained persons will be equipped to view the problems in a holistic manner and can have synthesis of the bio social, managerial and technical knowledge.

There is dearth of such business school who can groom young, aspiring professionals to inspire for to work for the cause of sustainable development at one end and earn their livelihood in a dignified and graceful manner on the other.
