The book ‘Environmental Studies – An Analytical View’ by Dr. Suman Gupta addresses the critical need for environmental awareness in today’s era of rapid industrial and economic development.
As environmental degradation continues to accelerate, this work provides a timely resource for understanding and implementing environmental conservation measures.
Notably, the Hindi version of the book was awarded the second prize at the national level under the AICTE’s TPPY Scheme for 2018-19, recognizing its excellence.
Written in simple and accessible language, the book covers essential aspects of the environment, nature, and natural resources. It equips teachers, students, environmental activists, and the general public with practical strategies for environmental protection that they can integrate into daily life.
Aligned with the undergraduate course on Environmental Studies as outlined by UGC (AECC) and AICTE, the book is applicable across universities, colleges, and technical institutions in India.
A standout feature is its integration of Indian principles, including the Panchtatva energy flow model—a concept uniquely explained by the author—and Vedic theories on the ecosystem.
For example, the book explains how the body, made of soil, eventually merges with it by using the framework of the five elements: sky, air, fire, water, and earth.
Environmental Studies – An Analytical View & NEP 2020 Guidelines
The book also adheres to the guidelines of the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020, emphasizing outcome-based education.
Each unit begins with learning objectives and outcomes, providing a clear roadmap for readers.
The text concludes with reflections on how individuals can express gratitude to nature and contribute to environmental preservation.
Divided into nine units, the book comprehensively covers the UGC and AICTE curricula in Units 1 to 7, while Unit 8 focuses on topics relevant to competitive and technical university exams.
Unit 9 focuses on fieldwork and provides detailed tables to guide students through practical assignments.
This book is an invaluable resource for students and teachers across disciplines, as well as for individuals preparing for competitive exams or working in environmental conservation.
Its engaging language and structured approach make it a recommended read for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of environmental issues and solutions.
