Abstract

The environmental awareness needs to be cultivated in any society to be an ideal society, or rather to be more precise, in other words, an ideal society means, the society which has the environmental awareness. The dictionary meaning of the word ‘environmental’ is surrounding objects, region or circumstances and the phrase environmental awareness’ will mean that one should be aware of his surrounding so that this surrounding is not disturbed. This relation of the environment with the human life has in recent years developed into an independent branch of scientific inquiry, which goes by the name environmental science. As per the literature, the human-environment interaction goes back to the remotest possible times in the history of humanity. Sometimes, it is seen as a manifestation of a struggle between the two. There have also been times when this relationship took the form of respectable coexistence. While the history of humanity of the last several millennia is noted for its constant and/or consistent progress in different walks of life, the mysteries of nature have often proved to be quite tempting to be solved by human thinking and actions. The key-theme of which is that the natural balance between human life and the surroundings should not be lost. This is the basic requirement for any life to flourish especially for human life. The major contribution of this paper would be to help the respective agencies in the government in building up the environmental awareness among citizens of India.
