Agartala, Jul 26, 2011 : Kartikeya Sarabhai, leading environmentalist and Director, Centre for Environment Education (CEE) affirmed that the resource base of northeast India could show an alternative model of development in changing phase.

Addressing a seminar on heritage and environmental conservation for sustainable development Sarabhai said that existing development model of the country would not be replicable uniformly because of diversified culture, heritage and challenges.

“Development of India is not sustainable for all the regions in true sense, as physical development is taking place by destroying natural system, which is not at all an approach of sustainable development”, Sarabhai said.

He pointed out that knowledge was the issue of sustainable development where social values and cultural heritage had been playing vital role while reminding that the concept of waste is not there in natural development but so called development is ruthless and to generate waste.

Aiming to explore and analyse the relationships between both natural and cultural heritage and environmental issues, CEE and Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) organised a two day seminar here.
