POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN ENVIRONMENT POLLUTION CONTROL
TECHNOLOGY
Industry has a curious relationship with environment. A rapid industrialization
coupled with uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources, has affected environment,
by ultimate changes in the natural cycle, causing impact and/or effects on air, water,
land, flora, fauna, human settlement and health of people. Industrial development,
besides economic growth, brings along with it a most of environmental problems.
Thus, the knowledge in the field of Environmental Sciences to all concerned is of a
prime importance. In industrial environment still there is a lack of trained
environmental professionals. Recently, a strong need has been felt for trained
professionals who can handle the operations process including monitoring and control
of various pollution aspects with professional expertise. In view of the above the
course has been designed by drawing the expertise from the leading national academic
and/or research institutes and industry too. This course upgrades the knowledge, and
develops skills and potential of the personnel to take a challenging job in the field of
environmental sciences and technology in industry.

Laboratory and Field work:
First and Second semester of PGDEPCT course comprises of laboratory and
field work also. EPCT Laboratory is well equipped. The experiments which are
carried out in laboratory are related to the various parameters for the pollution
monitoring and control.
Along with the laboratory work students are also exposed to the actual
industrial scenario through industrial visits. For this purpose visits to the various kinds
of industries, water treatment plants and environmental monitoring labs are arranged.
To get the experience of field work, students collect various samples of air,
water, etc and analyze them in the laboratory and submit the report. Projects include
noise monitoring, drinking water analysis for particular area, effect of Ganpati idol
immersion on water bodies etc.
