Abstract :

<p>&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;gt;India is a developing nation. India is well thought-out as the world&amp;amp;amp;amp;rsquo;s biggest booming economies. Modernization has led to the development in the lifestyle and the basic needs are no more just food, cloth and shelter. The industrialization has led to development in diverse areas like agriculture, manufacturing sector, coal, timber, bottling plants, automobiles, gas and chemicals. This has definitely developed the economy of India and the lifestyle of people living in the country. It had also led to the degradation of environment and the environmental conditions, the flora and fauna in different ecosystems, extinction of the rare species of animals, plants and birds and the depletion of natural resources. The major cause of this is the deforestation of the ecosystems for industrialization. Industrialization has resulted in the increase in the emission of harmful effluents and pollutants both into water, soil and air. These effluents have caused a severe and irreversible destruction to the different species residing in those specific ecosystems. Many life species have become vulnerable and some are extinct due to deforestation. The ground water reserves are no more pure, global warming has caused in the depletion of the ozone layer and has caused deadly diseases in certain areas. Most of this is caused by heavy industrialization. The ill effects of industrialization are very well known but the major question remains whether we want this to continue and suffer in the near future or make a change.&amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;</p>
