The growth of the population is very high which poses serious challenges for economic growth and environment sustainability. The use of modern technology, good communication facilities and creating new innovations affects the environment and lifestyle of the people. On the other hand, increasing production and consumption of goods puts a strain on the environment causing pollution and emissions of carbon dioxide in the Earths atmosphere, The issues of sustainable development is influenced by several factors like utilization of the available resources, urbanization, industrialization, climatic variability, and poor technology. Sustainable development mainly focuses to raise productivity, income, improve health, economic prosperity, and protect environment degradation. It also meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The government has initiated several programmes and policies to increase sustainability. But, the programmes and policies have failed to achieve their goals.
