Abstract	This instructional unit about environment and socioeconomic development in India is a supplement to the publication "Environmental Education Curriculum Infusion Units for Grades 7-12," ED 137 056. This specific unit is designed to increase students' understanding of Indian society and traditions as they relate to global problems and to help students identify the environmental concerns of a developing nation. A brief introduction suggests instructional strategies including comparison of information about India and other nations; an inductive learning approach using photographs as the basis for hypothesis and research; and lessons based on single concepts such as underemployment. Five "topic chapters" comprise the main part of the document. Each chapter identifies specific objectives (such as illustrating the diversity of Indian lifestyle), provides background information through readings and photographs, poses a problem for discussion, suggests questions and activities, and lists related resources. The five chapters discuss the problems of sharing one planet, India's geography and people, population problems, industrialization in a developing country, and meeting human needs. The units encourage students to discuss issues such as allocation of funds for industrial progress versus agricultural development. (AV)
