The term sustainable development implies different things to different people, but in essence, it is concerned with meeting the needs of people today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable development, therefore, involves a broad view of social perspective in a long term manner with an inclusive approach in action.

Development must sustain itself over the time, it must be in the right direction, and it must build-up relationships in win-win situation. He gave out expectations of organizations as that they require fire-flies and not high voltage bulbs.
