The  relationship  between  the  man  and  the  environment  has  been 
                     established in the early periods itself. Human beings live in the kingdom 
                     of nature and interact with it constantly. The influence of nature in the 
                     form of the air he breathes, the water he drinks, the food he eats, and 
                     the flow of energy and information. Any change in the environment can 
                     not only result in devastating effects, but can also pose a threat to the 
                     human race.
