ABSTRACT
The barren and forest land are shrinking at the cost of increase in the use of land for non-agricultural uses. The enormous growth of the number of vehicles is the one of the major causes of air pollution. The other factors viz., industries, energy / fuel sector, etc. are also contributing in the pollution of soil, water, air and sound every day. The share of forest production and their gross value from agriculture and allied sector has been reducing in general. The states in the Republic of India are making progress in every sphere of economy and social aspects. The case of Maharashtra discussed above is an example. The protection of environment and vital natural resources is of prime importance. The individual, institutional and Government level efforts are must in this regard on war foot so that further deterioration of the environment can be arrested. Environmental education must be imparted at every level possible. Creating awareness in the protection of environment and vital natural resources is the first step to be taken if the future generations to be saved from this mighty ghost.
