Environment & Citizen - Dr. V. Prasannakumar

Book Released on 28th February 2021

Mankind appreciates and enjoys the regular rhythm of the nature without considering the significance of countless objects in the universe that contribute to the nature’s well-being. The human race, since its appearance, started a process of getting civilised, exploiting resources and exerting influence on the earth and on other life forms. The burgeoning population is a reality and the ever-increasing pressure on the environment is reaching its peak. Though the religious beliefs and constitutional provisions, starting from the past, emphasise the preservation of nature, environmental abuse has crossed it’s limits. The non-replenishable natural resources are sounding soon-to-be-empty alarms, pushing the earth to the verge of an environmental catastrophe. It is the duty of every citizen to curb the abuse and conserve the environment to face the challenge of survival. The book addresses various aspects of the environment including the origin of the universe and planets, the components and characteristics of the environment, environmental concerns and constitutional provisions as well as the citizen’s rights and duties for improving the natural environment.
