Objective

The students will develop ability to keenly observe the Envi-ronment that surrounds them, which is not usually even no-ticed until a critical point is reached. It will give themknowl-edge which will be holistic and skill which will be creative.Today, in the name of development, terrible environmen-tal degradations are being wreaked. Many lakes, rivers, pas-tures and marshes have become repository of various pollu-tants, atmosphere is filled with dusts and numerous green-house gases, lands have been denuded and soil has becomesterile, massive deforestation has taken place and the lossof biodiversity has become all time high in the recent his-tory. Students educated in Environmental Science will beeco-friendly, who will envision development most suitableto humans, plants, animals, and entire nature. They can berole-models in their respective fields.
