Introduction
Environmental Science is an emerging science as a discipline which is vastly inter and
multi-disciplinary in nature. The 21st century promises for both an exciting time and a challenging
world to live in. The most complex challenges include environmental degradation, energy crisis, water
scarcity, food security, depletion of resources, and lack of environmental awareness, increasing land
use, mitigation and adaptation to climate change impacts are global, regional and local concerns.
These environmental matters are at the center of the political and economic extents and at the top of
the developmental agenda of worldwide. To prevent gradual environmental degradation and the decline of
human society, the harmony between humans and the environment is desperately needed. This is
achievable through an integrated and holistic approach encompassing natural, social and management
sciences with political support and technical involvements. This will require qualified and trained
human resource. The main aim and objectives of this program is expected to produce the graduates with
strong theoretical understanding and professional skills necessary to mitigate environmental issues.
To inculcate in students the attitude for contributing in development of sustainable life style in the
society and to develop green economy. The faculty focuses on incorporating advanced and interactive
teaching methodology which adds practical knowledge and innovative expertise of urban planning,
ecosystem restoration and conservation of natural resources. It enables students to learn how to
analyze and assess environmental problems and its interrelationships with other systems of the
society. Once they pursue these courses, they are exposed to a wide range of career opportunities to
contribute in building of a “clean, green and compassionate society”.
Currently, a BS 4-years program in Environmental Science is being offered in this department with a
vision to start MPhil and PhD in Environmental Sciences Programs very soon.
The eligibility for admission to Bachelors of Environmental Science degree will be F.Sc. pre-medical and pre-engineering or equivalent qualification.
