Darsana Changkakoti

Abstract :

A global concern of the present century pertains to the environmental hazards and degradation. In the pursuits of conquering over the Mother nature man has led to the overall lowering down of the qualities of the environment through his exploitative activities. It is high time that man develops awareness about the problems of environment and changes his attitude towards the environment and its components. The present paper attempts to know about the involvement and participation of the people of Pandu Colony, Guwahati in effective solution of the environmental problems. For the purpose of the study, the investigator administered a self–constructed interview schedule on a sample of 100 respondents selected purposively. The data was then analysed using simple percentage. Few observations made during the investigation have been put forward and suggestions are given accordingly.
