The environmental awareness needs to be cultivated in any society to be an ideal society, or rather to be more precise, in other words, an ideal society means, the society which has the environmental awareness. This relation of the environment with the human life has in recent years developed into an independent branch of scientific inquiry, which goes by the name environmental science. As per the literature, the human-environment interaction goes back to the remotest possible times in the history of humanity. Sometimes, it is seen as a manifestation of a struggle between the two. There have also been times when this relationship took the form of respectable coexistence. While the history of humanity of the last several millennia is noted for its constant and/or consistent progress in different walks of life, the mysteries of nature have often proved to be quite tempting to be solved by human thinking and actions. There are many environmental issues in India. Air pollution, water pollution, garbage, and pollution of the natural environment are all challenges for India. The situation was worse between 1947 through 1995. According to data collection and environment assessment studies of World Bankexperts, between 1995 through 2010, India has made one of the fastest progress in the world, in addressing its environmental issues and improving its environmental quality. Still, India has a long way to go to reach environmental quality similar to those enjoyed in developed economies. Pollution remains a major challenge and opportunity for India. Environmental issues are one of the primary causes of disease, health issues and long term livelihood impact for India.The major contribution of this paper would be to help the respective agencies in the government in building up the environmental awareness among citizens of India.
