Abstract

This study evaluates the impact of industrialization and changes in environmental conditions in the North Chotanagpur Division of Jharkhand, India. The region has witnessed rapid industrialization over the years, resulting in massive deforestation, soil erosion, water and air pollution, and displacement of indigenous communities. The negative impacts have led to a decline in the quality of life and well-being of the people living in the region. This study examines the various factors contributing to the environmental degradation in the region, such as unsustainable mining practices, improper waste disposal, and inadequate reforestation efforts. The study also explores the consequences of environmental degradation on the local economy, such as the loss of agricultural productivity and the depletion of natural resources. The study concludes by highlighting the urgent need for sustainable development practices that balance economic growth and environmental conservation. The study recommends strategies such as sustainable mining practices, reforestation efforts, and responsible waste management to mitigate the negative impacts of industrialization. It is essential to involve local communities in the decision-making process and provide them with adequate compensation and resettlement measures to minimize the adverse impacts of industrialization. The study underscores the need for policymakers and stakeholders to adopt sustainable development practices to promote economic growth without compromising the environment.
