Management of domestic wastewater has a direct impact on the environmental health of urban dwellers and the general physical condition of an urban settlement. This paper analyses domestic wastewater management in Mlolongo and Ruiru towns in Kenya. The methodology applied for the study was by survey through observation of wastewater systems in the neighbourhood, and interviews of home owners and tenants, and selected key County Government informants. The study revealed Mlolongo relied entirely on decentralized systems while Ruiru had a hybrid system consisting of pockets with centralized system but the larger areas relying on decentralized systems. The study revealed that 98% of the residents in Mlolongo rely on septic tanks, conservancy pits, and pit latrines while 48% of residents in Ruiru depend on septic tanks and communal toilets for their domestic wastewater management. The domestic wastewater systems were rated to be very poor by over 50% of the residentswith little or no participation by the residents in their management. The study demonstrated that the decentralized wastewater systems covered the entire satellite towns under study. 68% of residents in Mlolongo and 48% of the residents in Ruiru share their wastewater collection facilities with more than 15 persons. On sustainability, the study revealed low score from managerial, organizational, environmental, planning, and financial perspective. A sustainable model of managing domestic wastewater in satellite towns has been developed that aims at recognizing the need of recovering resources from the domestic wastewater while minimizing the user costs.

There are three basic need of human being, namely, food, shelter and clothes. In order to fulfill this need mankind involves in “occupation”. Occupational structure also influences the socio-economic development of an area (Henry, S. 1971). Any change in the occupational structure may be an indication of economic growth. Besides economic development, occupational structure and composition also throws enough light on the social inequality of the area. (Maurya, 1989). The significance of occupational distribution of population of a region lies in the fact that, it clearly reveals the socio-economic characteristics of the people living that particular region. It is, hence, one of the important measures of socio-economic development of the country. In this research the study is dealing with the dimensions of occupational structure relating to the population of the Ahmednagar tahsil; eventual rural urban differential are also analyzed

Education involves learning, dissemination of the knowledge and experiences. In broader sense education refers to the gaining of experience in everyday life. It can take place everywhere like, at home, religious institutions, social gatherings, cultural activities, schools and other means such as television, newspaper, internet, social media, etc. Sometimes these sources of knowledge are categorized under the non formal education. But when the learning disabilities or difficulties referred it is always related to learning that takes place in a formal ways that is in the schools or any educational institutions. It is a common phenomenon that every learner is different in the level of intelligence. Some have more and some have less. Sometimes this factor is considered as an intervening agent in the learning process of the students or learners and their achievement. Learning disabilities is another factor which intervenes in the learning of the learner. Again there are several forms of learning disabilities; they are Reading Disabilities (Dyslexia), Mathematics Disabilities (Dyscalculia), Writing Disabilities (Dysgraphia) and difficulty in remembering words (Dysnomia) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).Since, dyslexia is also one of learning difficulties has greater roles in effecting the performance and achievement of the learners. But till twenties dyslexia was not known to us. It doesn’t mean that it was not existed before twenties. Though it existed but was not detected or not known by this name. Therefore, the present paper intends to highlight on the status and awareness of secondary school teachers on Reading Disabilities (Dyslexia) in papumpare district of Arunachal Pradesh on the basis of empirical findings of the study.

India being a developing economy with high inflation, depreciation of the currency is quite natural. Depreciation of rupee is good, so long as it is not volatile. A random depreciation that we have seen in the last few months is bad and it has hurt the economy. The country was in the grip of high inflation, low growth and the foreign reserves were not even worth to meet three weeks of imports. India got freedom from British rule on Aug 15, 1947. At that time the Indian rupee was linked to the British pound and its value was at par with the American dollar. There was no foreign borrowing on India\'s balance sheet.

Environmental Protection Act (1986) defined, “Environment as the sum total of water, air and land, their interrelationship among themselves and with the human beings, other living beings and property. Environmental education is a process that allows individuals to explore environmental issues, engage in problem solving, and take action to improve the environment. As a result, individuals develop a deeper understanding of environmental issues and have the skills to make informed and responsible decisions (United States, Environmental Protection Agency). Environment is degrading at a much faster pace than our imagination. Most of this mess is caused by human activities. The damage is both at global and regional level. Depletion of ozone layer and increase in the emission of greenhouse gas are the examples of the damage at global level whereas ground water pollution, soil erosion are some of the regional consequences of human activities and their impact on environment. To protect and manage environment it is imperative to have a sound environmental education. It is a way to teach people and societies on how to use the present and future resources optimally. Through environmental education the students of schools, colleges and universities can gain knowledge to handle the fundamental issues leading to local pollution and environmental related hazards. Colleges and Universities in India mostly focus on teaching, research and training moreover imparting theoretical knowledge in environmental education. Regardless to say the students of colleges and universities spend most of their time in watching television, listening to music, playing video games, surfing internet, spending valuable times through social networking or using computer. They have no time to travel around and to explore the natural world around them. This not only impacts the health of students but also detach them from their surroundings and nature. The role of the colleges and universities is to encourage and integrate towards environmental education through various ways and means right from the beginning from their college education.
Key Words: Environmental Science, Climate Change, environmental education, Role of colleges and universities.
