There are many activities that are undertaken by directly using natural resources. For example, the
cultivation of cotton. It takes place within a crop season. For the growth of the cotton plant, we
depend mainly, but not entirely, on natural factors like rainfall, sunshine and climate. The product of
this activity, cotton, is a natural product. Similarly, in the case of an activity like dairy, we are
dependent on the biological process of the animals and viability of fodder etc. The product here,
milk, also is a natural product. Similarly, minerals and ores are also natural products. When we
produce a good by exploiting natural resources, it is an activity of the primary sector. Why primary?
This is because it forms the base for all other products that we subsequently make. Since most of the
natural products we get are from agriculture, dairy, fishing, forestry, this sector is also called
agriculture and related sector.

Multi-purpose project and large dams have also been the cause of many new social movements.
Resistance to these projects has primarily been due to the large- scale displacement of local
communities. Local people often had to give up their land, livelihood, and their meagre access and
control over resources for the greater good of the nation. So, if the local people are not benefiting from
such projects, then who is benefited? Perhaps, the landowners and large farmers, industrialists, and few
urban centres. Take the case of the landless in a village – does he really gain from such a project?
