Two serious problem caused by environmental degradation in india are: 

1. Water contamination

2. Poverty

1. Water contamination:

Development in India has taken a heavy price from the Indian society. In a hurry to develop the industrial sector, the businessmen and the govt has forgotten to take the preventive measures for the waste disposal.

The government has made rules and regulations but in the absence of their stricter implementation, our country has to face many environmental problems, water contamination has not only given birth to many water born diseases but also has affected actual animals adversely.

2. Poverty:

The industrial revolution has made the rich more richer and poor poorer. The reason behind this situation is poverty, unemployment and illiteracy, we are one of the ten most industrialised nations of the world but this situation has brought with it unplanned, urbanisation, pollution, poverty, increasing level of under unemployment and disguised unemployment.

Yes, this statement rightly shows the picture of Indian economy and the problems faced by it. The government has taken various measure to safeguard the environment but it has become necessary to adopt the path of sustainable development.
