OBJECTIVE: This course has been designed to introduce the students with various
causes, problems and control of pollution. Pollution of this earth started with the
development of intelligence in mankind. But in the modern times, due to population
explosion and simultaneous urbanization and industrialization, new problems have
plagued the humanity. Consequently, soil pollution, air pollution, noise pollution,
radiation pollution, water pollution etc. have become very important.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the economic and ethical assumptions and justifications
when choosing any regulatory approach such as cost-benefit analysis, environmental
justice, and the tradeoff between environmental protection and public welfare. The main
objective of the law course is to acquaint the students with elementary principles of
environmental Laws to enable them to make proper & effective use of their professional
abilities. Because the scientific gains can be put into use within the parameters of legal
system & the science & Law must be subservient to the needs of the society.

OBJECTIVE: Waste management is a pressing issue, and lack of know how in
waste management is a great concern for all the Local Self Govt. units & community.
Additionally, there is still little awareness on the importance of sound environmental
management within the majority of the population. The course on Waste Management
gives the student an overview of waste management including collection, transfer,
transport, and disposal. Methods of processing, basic disposal facilities, disposal options,
and the environmental issues of waste management will be covered in this course. In
addition, this course provides the student with relevant information about municipal solid
waste reduction and on hazardous waste management.
