We as human being are not an entity separate from the environment around us rather we are a constituent
seamlessly integrated and co-exist with the environment around us. We are not an entity so separate from the
environment that we can think of mastering and controlling it rather we must understand that each and every
action of ours reflects on the environment and vice versa. Ancient wisdom drawn from Vedas about environment
and its sustenance reflects this ethos. There is a direct application of this wisdom even in modern times. Idea of
an activity based course on environment protection is to sensitize the students
Course Outcomes:
1. Students will enable to understand environmental problems at local and national level through literature and
general awareness.
2. The students will gain practical knowledge by visiting wildlife areas, environmental institutes and various
personalities who have done practical work on various environmental Issues.
3. The students will apply interdisciplinary approach to understand key environmental issues and critically analyze
them to explore the possibilities to mitigate these problems.
4. Reflect critically about their roles and identities as citizens, consumers and environmental actors in a complex,
interconnected world.

The Constitution of India is the supreme law of India. Parliament of India can not make any law which
violates the Fundamental Rights enumerated under the Part III of the Constitution. The Parliament of India
has been empowered to amend the Constitution under Article 368, however, it cannot use this power to
change the “basic structure” of the constitution, which has been ruled and explained by the Supreme Court
of India in its historical judgments. The Constitution of India reflects the idea of “Constitutionalism” – a
modern and progressive concept historically developed by the thinkers of “liberalism” – an ideology which
has been recognized as one of the most popular political ideology and result of historical struggles against
arbitrary use of sovereign power by state. The historic revolutions in France, England, America and
particularly European Renaissance and Reformation movement have resulted into progressive legal reforms
in the form of “constitutionalism” in many countries. The Constitution of India was made by borrowing
models and principles from many countries including United Kingdom and America.
