Due to emphasis on Environmental Education, the subject is being taught at all levels of education. It is indeed pleasure to see technology students of all branches are being taught with the subject in first year. The Environmental issues and law varies from country to country and is unique to India. Understanding the issues does need lot of research and study material which students may not be able to gather due to shortage of time and resources. Hence an effort is made by authors gathering there experience and academic input from renowned universities of world.
