Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
An important fact of environment and ecosystem is that everything is related to each other in one way or other. Fast urbanization, rapid industrialisation and advancement in technology have lead to the heavy depletion of natural resources deteriorating man’s physical, mental and social health. In order to bring back same balance, environmental awareness regarding environmental issues and its sensitivity among population is necessary. Education is a powerful medium for attending the environmental problems, as it reaches to large parts of population & the perception and attitude that a child forms towards environment is likely to be carried out throughout his life. In present empirical work the comparative analysis of gender (male and female), place of residence (urban and rural) and subject background (science and non science) have been made with regard to the environmental awareness level on a sample of 106 undergraduate students of Aligarh. Analysis of the results showed significant differences between all the compared groups ie male & female, Science & non science and urban & rural. Results are discussed in the light of previous researches and suggestions have also been put forward to sensitize the students towards achieving an ecologically sustainable society.
