Model Answer

Beyond identifying and making an inventory of resources, two additional steps are essential:

  1. Evolving a planning structure with appropriate technology, skills, and institutional setup to implement resource development plans.
  2. Matching resource development plans with overall national development plans.

These steps are necessary because mere availability of resources without corresponding technological development and institutional changes can hinder development rather than promote it.

Explanation

The question asks specifically about steps beyond inventory — examiners expect you to name the other two steps from the three-part process given in the textbook, then link them to the key idea that resources alone don't guarantee development. Mentioning technology and institutions scores the second mark. Don't just restate the inventory step.
