Vision
The importance of environmental science and environmental studies cannot be
disputed. The need for sustainable development is a key to the future of mankind. Continuing
problems of pollution, loss of forget, solid waste disposal, degradation of environment, issues
like economic productivity and national security, Global warming, the depletion of ozone
layer and loss of biodiversity have made everyone aware of environmental issues. The United
Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janerio in 1992 and
world Summit on Sustainable Development at Johannesburg in 2002 have drawn the attention
of people around the globe to the deteriorating condition of our environment. It is clear that
no citizen of the earth can afford to be ignorant of environment issues. Environmental
management has captured the attention of health care managers. Managing environmental
hazards has become very important.
Human beings have been interested in ecology since the beginning of civilization.
Even our ancient scriptures have emphasized about practices and values of environmental
conservation. It is now even more critical than ever before for mankind as a whole to have a
clear understanding of environmental concerns and to follow sustainable development
practices.
