What does Resource planning in India involve?

In India efforts have been made from the beginning of the First Five year plan to achieve the goals of resource planning. Generally for the development of any region the -availability of resources is a necessary condition besides corresponding changes in technology and institutions. In India, many regions are rich in resources but these are included in economically backward regions and vice-versa. During British rule in India, the Britishers with higher level of technological development exploited our resources. Therefore, in India resource development means the availability of resources as well as the technology, quality of human resources and the historical experience of the people.
