Environment has been on the global and national agenda. Government and private organizations connected with environmental issues would need expertise of engineers and specialists.
With liberalization and economic reforms, Indian economy has been expanding rapidly. Industrialization around large cities has led to growth of mega cities. On the other hand, changes in agriculture and industrialization are accompanied by destruction of forests. Therefore, deforestation, indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources such as water, minerals, fossil fuels, etc., loss of biodiversity and degradation of ecosystems are some of the environmental issues facing the country.
In this backdrop, there is a surge in the demand for environment management and engineering professionals.
