Environmental Science

Environmental science is a multidisciplinary approach and integrates the biological, physical and earth sciences. With the intention to understand, how earth works and how it supports life systems, identify, control and prevent disruption to its systems and species caused by human activity.
Environmental scientists conduct research to identify the causes of such issues and work upon strategies on how to minimize or eliminate them. They conduct theoretical research to increase the understanding of how the natural world works and use their knowledge to formulate recommendations and develop strategies for managing environmental problems.
Environmentalists are engaged in environmental policy, planning and management usually work for a local government and are likely to be engaged in a lot of research intensive work. Higher study opportunities include M.Phil and Ph.D after clearing NET. The opportunities also exist in academic sector.

Environment and development are definitely two sides of the same coin. If one choose for development, then one has to sacrifice the environment and ecology or if you conserve environment then development is not there.
Today in developing nations like India, there is a need for both. As industrialization in growing the environment and ecology is being damaged. The more number of industries, the more damage to ecology. We all know about the increasing alarm rate of pollution in various cities like Delhi.
Also, as the Population of India is growing at faster rate, so the needs are also growing for an individual which is resulting in more exploitation of natural resources and ecology. Also, the new technological development and improvement in technology like nuclear energy is somewhat posing threat to environment.
So, most of the developing nations need to visualize for the sustainable growth where development and environment conditions are balanced in such a way such that it does not affect the needs of present and future generation.
