Therefore, we must have to learn how to do our planning and policy making subject to physical constraints - energy and other natural resources. It calls for a new and different kind of public policy. In a sense, this paper pleads for a paradigm shift in policy-making processes. Mere empty slogans and target-fixing do not as also should not make public policies. Development is essentially built upon an ever depleting resource-base because development means extraction and extraction means depletion. Resources are finite and non-replenishable. Therefore, the fact of the matter is that growth contains decay or in growth lies decay. Depletion and decay are, by nature, inherent in the mining sector. The cognizance of this awesome reality constrains policy-making machinery to consider sustainability as its core instead of periphery as is the case now. - Reproduced
