INTRODUCTION

In general, environment means the air, land, water, wildlife, birds, fish and forests, etc. All these constitute the physical attributes of the environment. But the environment is not complete in its sense without including equally important social and human parameters, viz., human welfare, social justice, safety and security, health, education, culture, job opportunities and place and above all the clean environment. In India, these parameters assume even greater importance as a large majority of our people still live below the poverty line.

There is no longer any serious deliberation against the proposition that the natural environment is rapidly degrading. Living resources essential for human survival and sustainable development are increasingly being destroyed or depleted. At the same time, human demand for these resources is growing fast. It is being increasingly threatened from the consequences of man's own actions, either productive or consumptive.

With the scientific and technological revolution, rapid growth of industrialization and urbanization is taking place. It has resulted in ecological imbalances causing greater threat to human survival. Not only the urban environment is being deteriorated but also the rural environment on account of over-exploitation of natural resources. Even in the villages, the cleanliness of environment has become a very serious problem. This problem is of great concern for India, because more than three-fourth of the total population of India live in villages. Therefore, it is essential that geographers should pay their maximum attention to the rural environmental problems.
