Although the word ecology may be the gift of the 19th century, yet the concept of ecology is very ancient in terms of Indian culture. Since ancient times, Indian sages and intellectuals have linked ecological components to different kinds of symbols of religion, social norms and conduct in order to make the inter – relationship of nature and organism a part of the public masses.

For example, the cow was granted the status of a mother. For thousands of years, mutually beneficial interaction existed between humans and environment, but the desire of humans to conquer nature in the modern era has provided only material pleasures as the basis of life while sacrificing these eternal laws and conduct. There was a distortion in the inter-relationship of the organisms, which led to the emergence of the concept of ecology.
