The study aims to find out the causes of environmental degradation and it's correlation with socio-economic problems of Chatta Kalikapur Mouza of Thakurpukur- Maheshtala Block, South 24 Parganas district, West Bengal where Jeans- fading industries have been mushrooming since 1992. A survey was done to understand the locus of the Dying and Bleaching industry from economic, environmental and social view point. Water samples were collected and analyzed both for physico-chemical parameter and for plankton diversity. Data of soil characteristics taken from State Agriculture Department were also analyzed. The study of land use and change of crop pattern along with water and soil study clearly revealed a rapid degradation of environment. The overall economic development was found to shatter for uncontrolled growth of dying and bleaching industries, making the social fabric more fragile. The study also tried to throw light on the mitigation strategy.

Abstract


The study aims to find out the causes of environmental degradation and it's correlation with socio-economic problems of Chatta Kalikapur Mouza of Thakurpukur- Maheshtala Block, South 24 Parganas district, West Bengal where Jeans- fading industries have been mushrooming since 1992. A survey was done to understand the locus of the Dying and Bleaching industry from economic, environmental and social view point. Water samples were collected and analyzed both for physico-chemical parameter and for plankton diversity. Data of soil characteristics taken from State Agriculture Department were also analyzed. The study of land use and change of crop pattern along with water and soil study clearly revealed a rapid degradation of environment. The overall economic development was found to shatter for uncontrolled growth of dying and bleaching industries, making the social fabric more fragile. The study also tried to throw light on the mitigation strategy.
