IGNOU AHE-01 P Project – Living Environment & Health

The environment in which we live is called living environment. It includes our surroundings, place where we live and atmosphere in which we breathe. The population of India has grown with a rapid speed. People get less place to live. Sometimes, an accommodation is hired to ten to 15 people. In one house, we can find even 30 persons living these .The space per person has reduced to a great extent. Also houses are built in a way to accommodate more and more people. Living environment affects the health of people. When people get less space to live in a house, it affects their health.
