Dear Student,
Resource planning is the way by which we can conserve resources by using it judiciously. It is a technique or skill of proper utilisation of resources. As the resources are limited and unevenly distributed over the country their planning is essential.
Three phases :-
1) Identification and inventory of resources [ mapping , surveying , quantitative and qualitative estimation and measurement of resources ]
2) Evolving a planning structure [ endowed with appropriate technology and human skills ]
3) Last, and the third phase, matching or comparing the resources developmental plans with overall national developmental plans.
Regards.
