Pollution is a major environmental challenge in India and the country faces a variety of issues such as air pollution, water pollution, garbage pollution and general industrial pollution. The tremendous rate of growth of India’s population, coupled with the fast pace of economic development, has led to contamination of the natural environment, leading to massive doses of pollution. This is ultimately taking its toll on human life as it gives rise to various diseases, making it imperative to combat pollution on a national level. Some of the other major environmental challenges prevalent currently in India include the degradation of forests and cultivable land and the rapid depletion of resources such as water, minerals, rocks and many others.
