| Summary, etc | This book has been prepared for a constructivist approach and activity based teaching-learning. The content has been presented in a graded manner to facilitate knowledge building with the illustrations relevant to the syllabus. The book highlights the measures for protection and care of the environment, prevention of pollution and conservation of energy. The topics are included to facilitate understanding of the environment in its totality. The core focus is on the interconnected nature of the physical, biological, social and economic systems pertinent to environmental issues. This book considers appropriate environmental case studies exemplifying how one may view environmental issues from a "systems perspective". The instructors are encouraged to emphasise this view and try to apply it during transaction of the syllabus. The students are expected to have acquired adequate understanding of the basics of the various topics through this book and are given a comprehensive view of the environment while dealing with these topics. The textbook calls for immediate activism in the fields of water conservation, rainwater harvesting, renovation of water bodies, reduce & reuse of water, watershed development, afforestation, and drinking water sanitation through community participation at each block or city. There is a pressing immediate need to make this a mass movement to ensure water security. |
