“The earth has enough for human needs, but not for human greed”- Said Mahatma Gandhi
Human history today is characterized by the rapid development of productive forces utilizing the scientific and technological revolution, which promotes socio-economic progress in every possible way and provides a powerful means of affecting the environment. The interaction between man and the environment has grown over the last decades. The large scale exploitation of nature, population growth, accelerated development of productive forces, the ever increasing destruction of natural resources for human comfort has lead to depletion and degradation of natural environment bringing in a dangerous ecological imbalance in the man environment system.
At present we are living in fear, conflicts, violence & terrorism, which is known as ‘Kali Yuga’- This is known as Age of darkness , ignorance & Environmental degratadation , an extremely explosive time where the context of human life is changing every moment.
