PANTNAGAR-263145
Uttaranchal State

OBJECTIVE

After being carved out of Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal
has been richer in terms of wildlife and forest area.
The thick forests and mountains house a variety of
wild life and plant species. Twelve areas- Nanda Devi
national park, the valley of flowers, Gangotri
national park, Govind national park, Rajaji national
park, Kedarnath sanctuary, Ascod musk deer sanctuary,
Mussoorie sanctuary, Binsar sanctuary, Sanadi
sanctuary and Govind sanctuary are now looked after by
Uttaranchal. The ecological zones likely to fall in
Uttaranchal are upper Himalayas called the snow-bound
zones, lower Himalayas and Shivaliks.

Exploration and exploitation of natural resources for
industrial development activities bring economical
gains, prosperity, improvement in quality of life etc.
It is said that the nature has enough to meet human
needs but it cannot meet human greed. Thus the over
and excessive exploitation of natural resources will
result into ecological & environmental losses,
irreversible damages to the natural cycles, human
sufferings etc. The subjects such as conservation of
natural resources, wildlife protection, deforestation
and afforestation, National parks and Sanctuaries,
global warming, ozone depletion etc have become
components of environment.

The workshop deals with issues connected with
protection and preservation of environment and
awareness with special reference to Hilly areas.

In Pursuance of the policy Framework on Environment
and Pollution Awareness, the All India Council for
Technical Education (AICTE) has provided funds for
organizing one day workshop. The objective of the
