Education today is a complex, vast, and urgent task. This complexity today risks making us lose what is essential, that is, the formation of the human person in its totality, particularly as regards the religious and spiritual dimension.Development is the right of human beings. It means wherever and in whatever field, if there is an opportunity of development, humans have the right to progress. The
industrial revolution and the scientific discoveries have opened up vast opportunities for technological advancements and developments. These developments have led to massive changes in human life. Technological advancements have empowered the creativity, which in turn simplified the process of production. Electricity, railways,telephone, vehicles, industries, electronic media are the important characters in the story of development.An unlimited use of natural resources like water, air and natural vegetation has become the cause of widespread pollution. It is necessary to make an effort to see and understand both (pollution and development) in different context since these two phenomena run parallel in the modern times. In the present times, land, water, air, noise and space pollution has increased and its adverse effects could be seen on human life and our environment. With the industries coming up on a large scale,various kinds of pollutants affecting the environment have increased. Among it water,air and land pollution are of the main types. These three are the most important elements for the sustenance of life on the earth.Industries require water and during the process of manufacturing, water becomes impure / polluted which is drained into rivers, streams or on the ground. This chemical infested water pollutes the pure water of a river. Secondly, the water drained on open ground gradually percolates down and pollutes the underground water too. Growing
urbanization is another reason behind widespread pollution. Dirty water from the gutters in urban areas is released into rivers and ponds which add to the problem of water pollution. Today even the rain water gets polluted due to industrialization. The smoke and gases released by the industries mix
with the rain water and pollute it.The dirty water released by industries and factoriesinto rivers, streams and ponds destroys aquatic life. Many times we see news about mass death of fish because of excessive pollution in water. The sea water gets polluted due to oil drilling and oil spills.Water pollution causes various diseases like cholera, jaundice, vomiting, loose motion etc. Thatis why nowadays people have to carry their own water bottle, filled with fresh and filltered water, with them while travelling, to office or to school. Many rivers have turned into gutters. This polluted river water is used for agriculture and consequently pollutants enter into food grains, vegetables and fodder. People from every class of the society, be it a politician, farmer, industrialist, educated individuals,
artist or workers have a very casual attitude towards the environmental pollution. The water from industries should be purified before it is drained into streams or rivers. Government should implement the pollution control policies properly to control the industries. We should use water in a judicious way.
