“Develop your country on your own terms and according to your own culture. Be true to the dreams of what India can be,” said David Orr, well-known environmentalist and Professor of Environment Studies and Politics at Oberlin College, in Bangalore on Thursday.
He was delivering a talk on ‘Sustainability and Development: The Challenge of the Century’, as part of the Wipro Earthian programme. Dwelling on issue of development in the Indian scenario, Prof. Orr said India should stop aping the western model of development and should focus on achieving sustainable development in a democratic manner.
