Environmental issues encompass a wide range of challenges that impact the planet's ecosystems, biodiversity, and the well-being of both human and non-human life. We at Poddar International College make our students aware of the daily environmental issues. Poddar International College, one of the best colleges in Jaipur provides the best UG and PG courses in science along with other diverse courses. Our aim is not just to make our students achieve good grades but also to make them aware of the daily life problems related to sciences.

There have been numerous environmental issues in recent times within our environment. Some major environmental issues include:

Climate Change: Human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, contribute to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. This results in more frequent and severe weather events, rising sea levels, and disruptions to ecosystems.

Deforestation: The clearing of forests for agriculture, logging, and urban development contributes to habitat loss, threatens biodiversity, and releases stored carbon into the atmosphere. Deforestation has significant implications for climate regulation and the balance of ecosystems. Therefore, in order to set a good example for our students to inculcate, Poddar International College organizes several tree plantation campaigns timely.

Loss of Biodiversity: Human activities, habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change are driving a rapid loss of biodiversity. This affects ecosystems' ability to function, disrupts food chains, and reduces the overall resilience of natural systems.

Air Pollution: Emissions from industries, vehicles, and other human activities release pollutants into the air, leading to smog, acid rain, and respiratory problems in humans and animals. Burning of fossil fuels is a major contributor to air pollution.

Water Pollution: Industrial discharges, agricultural runoff, and improper waste disposal contaminate water bodies, threatening aquatic ecosystems and human health. Plastic pollution is a growing concern, as it degrades water quality and harms marine life.

Waste Management: Improper disposal of waste, including plastic waste, electronic waste, and hazardous materials, poses environmental and health risks. Inadequate waste management practices contribute to pollution and ecosystem degradation. Therefore, in order to contribute a little towards a healthy environment, Poddar International College is highly concerned and active in environment protection and conservation. The institute has signed a few MoUs with government agencies to safeguard the environment.

Overfishing: Unsustainable fishing practices, including overfishing and destructive fishing methods, deplete fish populations, disrupt marine ecosystems, and threaten the livelihoods of communities dependent on fisheries.

Land Degradation: Unsustainable agricultural practices, urbanization, and deforestation contribute to the degradation of land, reducing soil fertility, and increasing the risk of desertification. This affects food security and ecosystem health.

Resource Depletion: The unsustainable use of natural resources, including water, minerals, and fossil fuels, leads to depletion and environmental degradation. Transitioning to more sustainable resource management is crucial for long-term environmental health.

Plastic Pollution: The widespread use of single-use plastics and inadequate waste management contribute to the accumulation of plastic debris in oceans, rivers, and terrestrial environments, posing threats to marine life and ecosystems. Poddar International College believes in the conservation of the environment and runs many projects from time to time.

We at Poddar International College engrave good values for our students and set an example to create a healthy and good environment. Teaching them science through real-life examples, organising campaigns, rallies and several camps. Poddar Institute, one of the best institutes in Jaipur provides the best UG and PG in Biology (Botany and Zoology) along with other courses like Arts, Commerce, IT, Management, Pharmacy, Design, etc. We as one of the top colleges of Jaipur, focus on providing the highest quality course structure, internships, industrial linkages, expert training sessions, infrastructure and student support services.
