Environment degradation mainly caused by human interference is the most alarming anxiety and a primary concern of the present society. The wetlands, forests, estuaries, coastal fisheries and other habitats that recycle air, water and nutrients for all living creatures are being irretrievably damaged. The oceanic world is under threat. Rapid urbanization, enhanced pace of developmental activities, high degree of mechanization and steep rise in energy consumption have resulted in stress on natural resources and quality of life, thereby directly or indirectly affecting the sustainability of the environment. In order to address these diverse challenges of environment in the modern era, the need for a short term training programme, dedicated to Environmental Planning / Protection was strongly felt.
