• Predict the consequences of human actions on the web of life, global economy, and quality
of human life.
• Think critically and develop appropriate strategies (scientific, social, economic,
administrative, and legal) for environmental protection, conservation of biodiversity,
environmental equity, and sustainable development.
• Demonstrate values and show compassionate attitudes towards complex environmental-
economic-social challenges, and participate at national and international levels in solving
current environmental problems and preventing the future ones.

Teaching Learning process

The teaching–learning methodologies are designed to provide the undergraduate students

a comprehensive understanding of the subject in a simplistic manner as well as evoke
critical reasoning and analytical thinking among them. Some of the theoretical concepts
related to practicals/outreach activities, etc. should be covered during practical sessions.
The various approaches to teaching–learning process include classroom lectures, video
presentations, and ICT enabled teaching tools. Forenhancing practical understanding, field
visits are encouraged to relevant places in Delhi likeBiodiversity parks, Protected areas,
Wetlands, Sewage treatment plants, etc.
