Abstract

A sustainable management seems to be the time's need in this globalized earth. But being a geographer, I, airing my thought, would conveniently declare it as ‘near about impossible’ an event. We flaunt ourselves as modern-technician, scientist rather the creator of civilization readily discarding our folk-sciences, folk-cultures that happen to be the pillar. Sacred Groves forms the folk-science, culture and technique for reducing all the rigidness, roughness and crisis of environment. It acts as a natural ‘antibiotic’ to treat the environment. The problematic issues of physical, social and cultural environment can be managed by the nourishing of eco-fruitful supervision of Sacred Groves and this paper encompasses on that platform with the application of suitable diagrams.
