Environment
The environment includes all living and non-living components that interact to support life on Earth. It consists of natural resources, ecosystems, climate, air, water, forests, and biodiversity. A healthy environment is essential for human well-being, economic growth, and ecological balance.
India, with its diverse geography, rich biodiversity, and vast natural resources, faces serious environmental challenges like pollution, deforestation, climate change, and water scarcity.
