have much in common in terms of values and world-views Besides being largest populous nations of the world both

countries also have become two largest developing countries major economic and defense power Moreover India

also shares a large boundary with China

There is a felt need to have scholars of Chinese studies who can understand relations between both countries and

serve the need of society at large It is so to produce experts for such emergent sectors that the Central University of

Gujarat started the Centre for Chinese Studies and Research The Centre fills the shortage of learning the place of

worlds largest speaking language of the world in west India and in Gujarat especially The Centre started functioning

from the academic year of 2012-13

Programme offered

neighboring civilizations India and China can be traced back to the commerce of silk route and even much before

that Latter the introduction of Buddhism from India to China further nourished the relationship As neighbors they

have much in common in terms of values and world-views Besides being largest populous nations of the world both

countries also have become two largest developing countries major economic and defense power Moreover India

also shares a large boundary with China

There is a felt need to have scholars of Chinese studies who can understand relations between both countries and

serve the need of society at large It is so to produce experts for such emergent sectors that the Central University of

Gujarat started the Centre for Chinese Studies and Research The Centre fills the shortage of learning the place of

worlds largest speaking language of the world in west India and in Gujarat especially The Centre started functioning

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTThe environment is the sum of total conditions prevailing in nature within which organisms live and have their

interaction between biotic and abiotic components Life on earth is essential for long-term sustainability of the

environment continuity of life on earth and maintenance of integrity The man-environment relationship indicates

that pollution and deterioration of the environment have a social origin Environment pollution has become a major

global concern Global society is facing the challenge of improving the quality of air water soil environment and

Centre for Chinese Language and Culture (CCLC)Chinese Studies has emerged as a major academic discipline in todays world The interaction between people of two

neighboring civilizations India and China can be traced back to the commerce of silk route and even much before

that Latter the introduction of Buddhism from India to China further nourished the relationship As neighbors they

have much in common in terms of values and world-views Besides being largest populous nations of the world both

countries also have become two largest developing countries major economic and defense power Moreover India

also shares a large boundary with China

There is a felt need to have scholars of Chinese studies who can understand relations between both countries and

serve the need of society at large It is so to produce experts for such emergent sectors that the Central University of

Gujarat started the Centre for Chinese Studies and Research The Centre fills the shortage of learning the place of

worlds largest speaking language of the world in west India and in Gujarat especially The Centre started functioning

from the academic year of 2012-13

Programme offered

SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENT AND

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTThe environment is the sum of total conditions prevailing in nature within which organisms live and have their

interaction between biotic and abiotic components Life on earth is essential for long-term sustainability of the

environment continuity of life on earth and maintenance of integrity The man-environment relationship indicates

that pollution and deterioration of the environment have a social origin Environment pollution has become a major

global concern Global society is facing the challenge of improving the quality of air water soil environment and

maintaining the ecological balance The growth of industrialization urbanization modern agricultural development

and energy generation has resulted in the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources for fulfilling human desires

and needs which has contributed in disturbing the ecological balance on which the quality of our environment

depends In recent time one of the major issues is the threat to human life from the progressive deterioration of the

environment Today we have environmental problems such as acid rain ozone depletion global warming climate

change effects of pesticides and fertilizer Solid waste hazardous waste- Treatment amp disposal Roots of these

problems are a lack of adequate awareness knowledge and understanding of our environment Sustainable

SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENT AND

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTThe environment is the sum of total conditions prevailing in nature within which organisms live and have their

interaction between biotic and abiotic components Life on earth is essential for long-term sustainability of the

environment continuity of life on earth and maintenance of integrity The man-environment relationship indicates

that pollution and deterioration of the environment have a social origin Environment pollution has become a major

global concern Global society is facing the challenge of improving the quality of air water soil environment and

maintaining the ecological balance The growth of industrialization urbanization modern agricultural development

and energy generation has resulted in the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources for fulfilling human desires

and needs which has contributed in disturbing the ecological balance on which the quality of our environment

depends In recent time one of the major issues is the threat to human life from the progressive deterioration of the

environment Today we have environmental problems such as acid rain ozone depletion global warming climate

change effects of pesticides and fertilizer Solid waste hazardous waste- Treatment amp disposal Roots of these

problems are a lack of adequate awareness knowledge and understanding of our environment Sustainable

SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENT AND

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTThe environment is the sum of total conditions prevailing in nature within which organisms live and have their

interaction between biotic and abiotic components Life on earth is essential for long-term sustainability of the

environment continuity of life on earth and maintenance of integrity The man-environment relationship indicates

that pollution and deterioration of the environment have a social origin Environment pollution has become a major

global concern Global society is facing the challenge of improving the quality of air water soil environment and

maintaining the ecological balance The growth of industrialization urbanization modern agricultural development

and energy generation has resulted in the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources for fulfilling human desires

and needs which has contributed in disturbing the ecological balance on which the quality of our environment

depends In recent time one of the major issues is the threat to human life from the progressive deterioration of the

environment Today we have environmental problems such as acid rain ozone depletion global warming climate

change effects of pesticides and fertilizer Solid waste hazardous waste- Treatment amp disposal Roots of these

problems are a lack of adequate awareness knowledge and understanding of our environment Sustainable

development emphasizes the use of natural resources and employing eco-friendly technology for production

processing and operation in industries and making societies ready for environmental development and

management

The School of Environment and Sustainable development is offering MPhil PhD programme since its inception-

2011 at CUG A foundation course MSc in Environmental Sciences has been started from the academic year 2015-

that Latter the introduction of Buddhism from India to China further nourished the relationship As neighbors they

have much in common in terms of values and world-views Besides being largest populous nations of the world both

countries also have become two largest developing countries major economic and defense power Moreover India

also shares a large boundary with China

There is a felt need to have scholars of Chinese studies who can understand relations between both countries and

serve the need of society at large It is so to produce experts for such emergent sectors that the Central University of

Gujarat started the Centre for Chinese Studies and Research The Centre fills the shortage of learning the place of

SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENT AND

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTThe environment is the sum of total conditions prevailing in nature within which organisms live and have their

interaction between biotic and abiotic components Life on earth is essential for long-term sustainability of the

environment continuity of life on earth and maintenance of integrity The man-environment relationship indicates

that pollution and deterioration of the environment have a social origin Environment pollution has become a major

global concern Global society is facing the challenge of improving the quality of air water soil environment and

SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENT AND

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTThe environment is the sum of total conditions prevailing in nature within which organisms live and have their

interaction between biotic and abiotic components Life on earth is essential for long-term sustainability of the

environment continuity of life on earth and maintenance of integrity The man-environment relationship indicates

that pollution and deterioration of the environment have a social origin Environment pollution has become a major

global concern Global society is facing the challenge of improving the quality of air water soil environment and

maintaining the ecological balance The growth of industrialization urbanization modern agricultural development

and energy generation has resulted in the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources for fulfilling human desires

and needs which has contributed in disturbing the ecological balance on which the quality of our environment

depends In recent time one of the major issues is the threat to human life from the progressive deterioration of the

environment Today we have environmental problems such as acid rain ozone depletion global warming climate

change effects of pesticides and fertilizer Solid waste hazardous waste- Treatment amp disposal Roots of these

problems are a lack of adequate awareness knowledge and understanding of our environment Sustainable

development emphasizes the use of natural resources and employing eco-friendly technology for production

processing and operation in industries and making societies ready for environmental development and

SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENT AND

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTThe environment is the sum of total conditions prevailing in nature within which organisms live and have their

interaction between biotic and abiotic components Life on earth is essential for long-term sustainability of the

environment continuity of life on earth and maintenance of integrity The man-environment relationship indicates

that pollution and deterioration of the environment have a social origin Environment pollution has become a major

global concern Global society is facing the challenge of improving the quality of air water soil environment and

maintaining the ecological balance The growth of industrialization urbanization modern agricultural development

and energy generation has resulted in the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources for fulfilling human desires

and needs which has contributed in disturbing the ecological balance on which the quality of our environment

depends In recent time one of the major issues is the threat to human life from the progressive deterioration of the

environment Today we have environmental problems such as acid rain ozone depletion global warming climate

change effects of pesticides and fertilizer Solid waste hazardous waste- Treatment amp disposal Roots of these

problems are a lack of adequate awareness knowledge and understanding of our environment Sustainable

neighboring civilizations India and China can be traced back to the commerce of silk route and even much before

that Latter the introduction of Buddhism from India to China further nourished the relationship As neighbors they

have much in common in terms of values and world-views Besides being largest populous nations of the world both

countries also have become two largest developing countries major economic and defense power Moreover India

also shares a large boundary with China

There is a felt need to have scholars of Chinese studies who can understand relations between both countries and

serve the need of society at large It is so to produce experts for such emergent sectors that the Central University of

Gujarat started the Centre for Chinese Studies and Research The Centre fills the shortage of learning the place of

worlds largest speaking language of the world in west India and in Gujarat especially The Centre started functioning

neighboring civilizations India and China can be traced back to the commerce of silk route and even much before

that Latter the introduction of Buddhism from India to China further nourished the relationship As neighbors they

have much in common in terms of values and world-views Besides being largest populous nations of the world both

countries also have become two largest developing countries major economic and defense power Moreover India

also shares a large boundary with China

There is a felt need to have scholars of Chinese studies who can understand relations between both countries and

serve the need of society at large It is so to produce experts for such emergent sectors that the Central University of

Gujarat started the Centre for Chinese Studies and Research The Centre fills the shortage of learning the place of

SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENT AND

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTThe environment is the sum of total conditions prevailing in nature within which organisms live and have their

interaction between biotic and abiotic components Life on earth is essential for long-term sustainability of the

environment continuity of life on earth and maintenance of integrity The man-environment relationship indicates

that pollution and deterioration of the environment have a social origin Environment pollution has become a major

global concern Global society is facing the challenge of improving the quality of air water soil environment and

maintaining the ecological balance The growth of industrialization urbanization modern agricultural development

and energy generation has resulted in the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources for fulfilling human desires

and needs which has contributed in disturbing the ecological balance on which the quality of our environment

depends In recent time one of the major issues is the threat to human life from the progressive deterioration of the

environment Today we have environmental problems such as acid rain ozone depletion global warming climate

change effects of pesticides and fertilizer Solid waste hazardous waste- Treatment amp disposal Roots of these

problems are a lack of adequate awareness knowledge and understanding of our environment Sustainable

SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENT AND

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTThe environment is the sum of total conditions prevailing in nature within which organisms live and have their

interaction between biotic and abiotic components Life on earth is essential for long-term sustainability of the

environment continuity of life on earth and maintenance of integrity The man-environment relationship indicates

that pollution and deterioration of the environment have a social origin Environment pollution has become a major

global concern Global society is facing the challenge of improving the quality of air water soil environment and

maintaining the ecological balance The growth of industrialization urbanization modern agricultural development

and energy generation has resulted in the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources for fulfilling human desires

and needs which has contributed in disturbing the ecological balance on which the quality of our environment

depends In recent time one of the major issues is the threat to human life from the progressive deterioration of the

environment Today we have environmental problems such as acid rain ozone depletion global warming climate

change effects of pesticides and fertilizer Solid waste hazardous waste- Treatment amp disposal Roots of these

problems are a lack of adequate awareness knowledge and understanding of our environment Sustainable

development emphasizes the use of natural resources and employing eco-friendly technology for production

processing and operation in industries and making societies ready for environmental development and

management

interaction between biotic and abiotic components Life on earth is essential for long-term sustainability of the

environment continuity of life on earth and maintenance of integrity The man-environment relationship indicates

that pollution and deterioration of the environment have a social origin Environment pollution has become a major

global concern Global society is facing the challenge of improving the quality of air water soil environment and

maintaining the ecological balance The growth of industrialization urbanization modern agricultural development

and energy generation has resulted in the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources for fulfilling human desires

and needs which has contributed in disturbing the ecological balance on which the quality of our environment

depends In recent time one of the major issues is the threat to human life from the progressive deterioration of the

environment Today we have environmental problems such as acid rain ozone depletion global warming climate

change effects of pesticides and fertilizer Solid waste hazardous waste- Treatment amp disposal Roots of these

problems are a lack of adequate awareness knowledge and understanding of our environment Sustainable

development emphasizes the use of natural resources and employing eco-friendly technology for production

processing and operation in industries and making societies ready for environmental development and

management
