|
to create
strong awareness to protect the environment. |
|
-
|
to find easy
and adaptable solutions to the environmental problems. |
|
-
|
to create
realization that environment science and life are inter-related. |
|
-
|
to work extensively
for innovative environment management & audit. |

|
to have greater
appreciation for the environment of animals and birds, plants
and natural diversity, and sea, valley and mountains. |
Environment is the sum total
of all conditions and influences on the planet earth that affect
the development and life of all living organisms. It is now established
beyond any doubt that the environment of one living being is related
to the environment of every other living being. Though we are aware
of most of the problems, which we are facing today as a result of
human activities, it is difficult to foresee many environmental
problems that mankind might face in the future, if things continue
to be the way they are. The global awareness and concern for the
environment has forced governments, institutions and individuals
to take stock of the quality of air we breathe and the water we
drink. We are all feeling concerned about environmental degradation.
Survival of all living beings and sustainable development requires
in depth knowledge and study of environments.
Assessment of risk associated
with previously unknown, unrecognized, unanticipated or unsuspected
chemical pollutants in the environment has been a major concern
of environmental scientists in this millennium. Early identification
and investigation of potential environment pollution issues before
they worsen are critical for protecting ecology and human health.
During the last four decades, the impact of chemical pollution has
focused almost exclusively on the conventional priority pollutants,
especially those acutely toxic/ carcinogenic, pesticides and industrial
intermediates displaying persistence in the environment. One large
class of chemicals receiving comparatively little attention comprises
the bioactive chemicals, which include pharmaceuticals and active
ingredients in personal care products.
The Institute will endeavor
to study the problems of environment in an integrated manner using
the interdisciplinary knowledge and research of Physics, Chemistry,
Mathematics, Geology and Biology. The Institute of Environmental
Sciences aims to impart state of art theoretical and practical knowledge
to the students leading to the following degrees:
