• Understand the basic concepts about various components of the Environment and their interactions through the study of ecology, biodiversity, climatology, environmental chemistry, earth science, and environmental microbiology.
  • Efficiently monitor, manage, and conserve diverse natural resources, by studying aquatic resources, remote sensing and GIS, and natural resources conservation and management.
  • Understand different types of environmental pollutants, their sources, hazardous effects, treatment/abatement strategies, and associated legislations using knowledge acquired from courses related to environmental pollution, ecotoxicology, ecotechnologies, and environmental law.
  • Analyse, determine, and interpret, the present level of contaminants in various environmental matrices using environmental analysis and instrumentation, biostatistics, and computer applications.
  • Well-versed with the mitigation, preparedness, and management of natural and man-made disasters and the impact of various developmental activities/projects and measures to minimise these impacts by learning disaster management and environmental impact assessment.
  • Through the dissertation, students will learn to identify a particular environmental problem, critically synthesize the existing literature for finding the knowledge gaps, standardize a scientific methodology, and collect, analyze and interpret the data to find an appropriate solution. They will also acquire the ability to transcribe the research findings in the form of a structured thesis and effectively communicate the research results through oral/poster presentations.
