2. Profile of the Department
Modern civilization endowed with the power of Science and technology has been responsible for local, regional and global changes in the biosphere, which in its own turn has altered the quality of human life. This has also resulted into ecological problems like population explosion, migration, rehabilitation, urbanization, industrialization, flood, desertification, land degradation, pollution, loss of biodiversity and connected vagaries. These all have originated as a result of inadequate and faulty planning associated with irrational use of the natural resources, more so, the non-renewable resources. In a bid to achieve excellence in agricultural and industrial fields, earlier national five year-plans seem to have turned their back towards possible damages to the environment, so necessary for sustainable development. There is thus a growing need for such educational programmes which imparts knowledge about the delicate interactions between various environmental factors to harness a sustainable symbiotic co- existence of Man with nature.

The study of environment and human interactions with it clearly indicates that it is a multidisciplinary study, based on the study of various aspects of science and/ or social sciences applied holistically. The Academy endeavors to generate, renovate and disburse knowledge regarding environmental problems and their solutions to make the human life, happier, healthier and sustainable.

The curriculum of environmental science has, thus, been designed to incorporate and integrate the subject matters from a large number of disciplines. In its true sense the environmental science is not only multidisciplinary but has emerged out as an integrated subject. It embodies bulk of information pertaining to health education, medicine, life sciences, earth science, chemistry engineering, architecture, anthropology, history, culture, economics, ethics, psychology, etc.

In order to provide a work experience in various aspects of environmental problems each student is required to undertake a project training, both during M.Sc. (Previous) and M. Sc. (Final).
