Abstract:
Sindri has got distinction of having first industrial unit in Public Sector Enterprises in the form of Fertilizer Corporation of India (FCI) during country’s post-independence, i.e. in the year 1948. Its industrial activities have been closed in 2002 and it is therefore expected to bear a change inthe land environment. Soil is one of the most precious natural resource on this planet. It is not only dirt but also a weathering product of rock and covers approximately 10% of earth surface. This 10% of earth surface produces all types of world’s crops. There are 700,000 types of soils. It varies from place to place depending upon the climate and topography. Soil is an important factor influencing the productivity of various eco-systems of our Planet. It is vital for existence of many forms of life. The upper most layer of the earth is also known as pedo-sphere. It comprises sum total of all organisms, soil, water and air. It is a vital media for chemical & biological reactions interfering in various ways in the process of life. The process of pedo-genesis is influenced by geographic, climatic, geologic, biologic and anthropogenic changes. and pedo-sphere. Considering these facts, an assessment has been conducted through this study for integrating the present scenario of environmental status after closure of FCI, Sindri Unit in the area.
