Topic :Natural resources and Man made resources.
INTRODUCTION
Resources are the "source of supply or support, generally held in reserve". Resoure are of two main groups , Human resources and Natural resources. Man made resources are not naturally occuring these type resources are developed only with the help of man kind. Next the natural resources are the naturally occuring substance of the biosphere , which can support and sustain life. They are natures resoures which suppot life on earth.They include the goods and services provided by natural environment. Natural resouces can be classified into abiotic and biotic factores.
NATURAL RESOURCES
FOREST
Forest are large treasure house of a huge wealth of natural resources.Forest are valuable to us in many ways. They satisfy our needs for timber and other good products , favourably influence the climate ,atmosphere and water resources, and protect the soil from wind erosion. Forest fall under four major categories, namely tropical forest, sub-tropical rain forest, temperate forest, and corniferous forest. Forest provide food items like roots , tubers ,leaves ,fruits ,berries,spices etc.Some medicine like quinine, camphor, etc are obtained from forest trees.It also provide a sustainable income through ecotourism.
WETLAND
A wet land is a land area that is saturated with water , either permanently or seasonally ,such that it takes on the characteristic of a distinct eco-system. The primary factor that distinguishes wet land from other land forms or water bodies is the characteristic vegetation of aquatic plants.Wet land play a number of roles in the environment , principally water purification, flood control, carbon sink and shoreline stability. Wet lands are also consider the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems,serving as home to a wide range of plants and animal life.
SACRED GROVES
Sacred groves of India are forest fragments of varying sizes ,which are communally protected, and which usually have a significant religious connotation for the protecting community.Hunting and logging are usually strictly prohibited with in these patches. Traditional uses of sacred groves are the repository for various ayurvedic medicines.It reduce soil erosion. In modern times, sacred groves have become biodiversity hot spot, a various species seek refuge in the areas due to progressive habitat destruction and hunting.
MAN MADE RESOURCES
Man made resources are the resources are the resources that will developed by man.examples for man made resources are museum, zoo,botanical garden,agrifarms etc.These type of resources are also developed for both plants and animals.
MUSEUM
Museum is a historical place.A study in the museum presents abstract things in concrete shape.Museum is a collection of thing connected with science teaching. This collection is made with a view to enable the students to observe the collections and have a realistic experience about them. In a museum insects,fishes, snake ,birds,mammals working models ,dry exhibits ,flowers,improvised apparatus, charts, pictures etc can be collected and arranged.
ZOO AND BOTANICAL GARDEN
Zoo and botanical garden are the type of ex-situ conservation.Ex-situ conservation advocate to boost the populations of rare species through breeding programmes outside the natural habit.Conservation of biodiversity in botanical garden and zoo is now a common practice.
KRISHI VIGYAN KENDRA
The actvities of the Krishi vigyan kendra are focused to address the prioritized agricultural problems of the district and identified thrust areas.Nursery techniques,mushroom production,Trichoderma production,cashew apple processing,coconut climbing are the different training techniques provided by krishi vigyan kendra.There is a plant health clinic functioning at the kendra.plant and soil samples are analysed for major and minor nutrients at the clinic.
AGRIFARMS
Their are many agrifarms in our India.Each agrifarms are named in different names.Agrifarms are commonly engaged in plants germination,plant supply,consulting and trading.Now agrifarms are expertise in sandal wood,Red sandal wood,Teak wood,Malabar Neem,Eucalyptus and all varieties of fruits orchids supply and cultivation.Educated farmers,famous scientist,agro professionals,biologist and other skilled professionals helps to develop such agrifarms.
HOSPITAL
Hospital is a health care institution providing patient treatment with specialized staff and equipment.The best known type of hospital is the general hospital,which has an emergency department . A district hospital typically is the major health care facility in its region , with large numbers of beds for intensive care & long term care .
RESEARCH CENTRE UNDER STATE & CENTRAL GOVERNMENT
There are many research centres under state & central govt.

RESEARCH CENTRE UNDER STATE & CENTRAL GOVERNMENT
There are many research centres under state & central govt.
- State Research Institute for Innovate Medicine
- Rajiv Gandhi Center for Bio technology
- Sree Chitra Thirunal Institute of Research & Technology are the examples for State research centres .
- Indian Council for Agriculture Research centers
- Central Tuber Crops Research Institute Sreekariyam
- Central Drug Research Institute Lucknow etc are the other three examples for central research centres .
CONCLUSION
Natural resources is a resources that exists naturally . It does not created by man . It only exist only in nature & it is consumed by humans . But in the case of man made resources it has been created by acts of humans. It does not exist in nature . This is produced by the humans & also utilized it for the needs of humans itself .
