It is a common practice now a days to open our daily newspapers early in the morning and read about one or other kind of environmental problem facing us. It may be a case of polluted water at some industrial discharge point, or a factory outlet emitting thick smokes or garbage dumped in residential areas. At the same time we also read about court cases whereby the judiciary directs the concerned administrators to remedy a particular bad situation dealing with environment such as the shifting of some polluting industries away from river sites. Awareness for a safe and cleaner environment is now part of formal or informal curriculum even at nursery school levels and many colleges and universities have the subject at the undergraduate level either as an optional or compulsory one for the students. While a large number of books on environment are available in the market most of these books are based with examples from developed countries.
