ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT-CHITTOR DISTRICT

Environmental degradation is a serious and global level problem. The scholar has taken Chittoor district, a border district to Karnataka in West, Tamilnadu in South. The district is placed in high temperature and less rainfall zone. The people are hardworking in nature. Around 30 per cent of geographical area is next sown area. In 30 per cent sown area, 26 per cent area is irrigated with all sources of irrigation. In western part of Chittoor district, the farmers shifted from agriculture to dairying, business, jobs, industry. Further much of flora and fauna were an endangerous situation, due man's villaininess and greediness. We did research on very micro-area of few selected samples. As a scholar, I had little financial, time resources, so that I picked up my own district. In fact, selecting a village in every Mandal of district would bring better results for policy making, sustainable development became a buzz word for every citizen. Causes, consequences, promotion of sustainable development in any selected area are a right for further research.
