Undoubtedly, this conference will provide a platform and opportunity to discuss and exchange the technical thoughts and ideas among experts from various parts of the nations on the environmental challenges and solutions.
An official of NMl said: "Exploitation of natural resources leads to the deterioration and degradation of the environment. Natural water resources are polluted by discharge of toxic effluents and air is polluted by discharge of various poisonous gases; all these things disturb the whole ecosystem where all the species on the earth live, breathe, eat etc. In this condition, survival of many lives in the ecosystem is difficult, which can leads to a major "balance" problem in biosphere".
This conference will cover the discussion on the utilisation of natural resources in a sustainable manner, current scenario of ecosystem, different aspects for the remediation of pollution problems and the application of bio products in agriculture.
