Environmental challenges in India are vast and require immediate attention. The most pressing environmental challenges include:

• Air Pollution- India ranks amongst the worst countries in terms of air pollution and it results in severe respiratory and cardiac problems.
• Water Pollution - Over 80% of India's surface water and almost 50% of groundwater is polluted, leading to various water-borne diseases.
• Land Pollution - Improper disposal of waste, including plastics, has led to soil and land pollution.
• Climate Change- With increasing dependence on fossil fuels and deforestation, India is facing the consequences of climate change in the form of erratic rainfall, floods, and heatwaves.
• Chemical Pollution- Pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemicals used in agriculture not only harm the soil but also seep into the groundwater system, leading to health hazards.

These challenges call for collaborative efforts towards sustainable development and eco-friendly practices.
