ABSTRACT Sustainability is the curative way by which we can wisely protect our world for our next generation. A sustainable future involves an age, where we can preserve different types of resources for our future population besides our own need and satisfaction. We should be aware of and conscious enough about sustainable development so that we know how a healthy environment, food and relevant things are provided to them. A book, a wise thought and a dream can save our tomorrow’s world. Education can miraculously materialize such dream. It allows learners to acquire the skills, capacities, values and knowledge required to ensure sustainable development. A properly planned curriculum can fulfil our dream to secure a sustainable future where present demands can be supplied, and at the same time, resources can be retained for the coming days. This article will closely examine the endeavours which are initiated by highest thinking bodies to meet the present needs as well as to secure the right preservation of resources for future use. KEY WORDS: Sustainable Future, Demand Supply, Future Resources, Well-planned Curriculum.

The highest thinking bodies such as UNESCO focus on some thoughts and ideas about the formation of a better future where our social, economical and environmental issues can be sustained.

People will consume the immediate needs and preserve the rest for future use. This mind set up cannot be miraculously achieved. It needs a proper education and well-directed lessons. The United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) has further chosen to economically empower the social positions of the marginalized section of the society whose consumption of daily goods are a bit unorganized and unplanned. A highly thought and well-planned curriculum can teach the social minority section to consume the natural resources with proper education. It will spread one kind of awareness that will sustain their lives through consumption and make them aware not to drain the resources, while living in present, but to have limited access to the natural resources where needs will be curtailed through proper education. The United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) even equally is concerned regarding gender issue and sustainable education. Sustainable future does not exclusively depend on consumption of natural resources by male. Female participation in consumption stories is equally relevant; it needs highest level of research, planning and concentration. In the countries with developing economy like India, girl child education ration is not completely assured. The popular stories
