Study of student teachers' environmental awareness and attitude towards environmental protection.(Hindi)

Abstract

Man is the best creation of this earth, who understands all the secrets of the environment. All human activities and basic needs like food, shelter, clothing etc., major enterprises, social needs and cultural needs are directly related to the environment. It is said that the environment is a set of physical elements and forces that sustain life in the universe. In the beginning the human population was small and the needs were very limited. For this reason the impact of its exploitation on the environment was negligible. Gradually civilization developed, humans started farming and living in one place. Knowledge, development, technology, medical science, mathematics etc. developed. As a result, the population started increasing, the pace of which was slow in the beginning, later increased and is becoming dynamic at present.

We are exploiting the natural resources of the environment in a wrong way due to our selfish interests. The clean water of the rivers is being polluted. We are making pure and fresh air impure in various ways, converting oxygen into carbon dioxide and continuously reducing the cultivable area of the earth. By clearing fertile land and dense forests, grand buildings are being built. Vehicles are spreading uncontrolled pollution. We have to think of ways to avoid this situation. Efforts will have to be made to jointly find solutions to various environmental problems. Today, there is a strong need to avoid show and pretense and re-establish our credit and responsibility, otherwise future generations will not forgive us at all.
