M.Sc. Environmental Science (ODL)
The prudent management of our precious water resources, environment conservation, and sustainable development are high on the agenda of global concerns. Addressing these challenges requires professionals with a high degree of specialization and interdisciplinary approach. In order to develop improved systems and practices to preserve the most precious resource of our planet, there is a great demand for trained people. In view of the huge focus and investment made by all nations on the water sector, there is a tremendous need for specially trained manpower for supporting the institution involved in the development and management of water, at both the grass roots levels and at the institutional level. Applying knowledge gained through environmental science is the only way to solve these problems so that the environment can be preserved.
The rapid urbanization of the environment needs to be studied constantly in order to avoid altering and damaging the environment significantly. Ultimately, environmental science is necessary to save the environment from destruction and all of its dependents from extinction. M.Sc., Environmental Science at JSSAHER is intended for professional’s practitioners, researchers and students from a wide range of backgrounds who aim to develop their knowledge and insights pertaining to the environment. The course in designed to provide critical and practical skills to analyse, evaluate, design and implement solution and strategies with regards to water and health issues.
