Abstract

Environment is the sum of total air, water and land, their inter relationship among themselves and also with human beings and other living organism and property. Mahatma Gandhi said “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need but not for every man's greed”. But man as used when progressed in his scientific and modern attitude he started to be unkind to natural environment. They mercilessly cut the trees and destroyed the green forest for construction. Man's continuous construction of various types of building, industries, dam, bridges, roads were increased. The natural materials were not sufficient for this proposes. Therefore man invented many things out of available materials to fulfill his needs. So nature at present is in a highly modified state which is quite different from its original shape untouched by the human greed and power. So by observing the situation through this paper the investigator has tried to study the awareness level of the students towards environment.
