ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
* 40 Hours are kept for various activities under the head of activities. There will be a final theory examination for the students of 100 marks but these marks will not be added to their final result as assessment will be satisfactory or non-satisfactory
We as human being are not an entity separate from the environment around us rather we are a constituent seamlessly integrated and co-exist with the environment around us. We are not an entity so separate from the environment that we can think of mastering and controlling it rather we must understand that each and every action of ours reflects on the environment and vice versa. Ancient wisdom drawn from Vedas about environment and its sustenance reflects this ethos. There is a direct application of this wisdom even in modern times. Idea of an activity based course on environment protection is to sensitize the students
