Agra is endowed with cultural heritage and famous world wide as a city of Taj. Agra is also famous as a one of most polluted city. The development of Agra is unsystematic so it cannot be considered as a heritage city. This city is suffering from water scarcity, traffic jam, poor road, improper sewage drainage system, frequent load shedding, dirty Yamuna river water above all high load of SPM (suspended particulate matter). This paper deals with present status of Agra and the various methods which ultimately results to make Agra Green by systematic approach. Making Agra green is really a big dream but high achievement always takes place in the frame work of high expectation. So, it is possible to make not only Agra green but we can unitedly make the green globe too.
Agra is located in north central India, 200 km south east of Delhi, falls in the Indo-Gangetic plain and thus agriculture is the major activity. The soil type is a mixture of sandy loam containing excess of salts. Two thirds of its peripheral boundaries are bounded by the Thar Desert of Rajasthan. The major industrial activities in Agra are ferrous and non-ferrous metal casting, rubber processing, tanneries, lime oxidation and pulverization, engineering works, chemicals and brick-kilns. Apart from the local sources, Mathura refinery and Ferozabad glass industries are both situated at a distance of 40 km from west and east of Agra, respectively. Over the past many years, there has been much discussion on environment pollution. No importance had been given before by the government or by the people to this problem. Now its importance is being realized by us. But with the spread of city life, industrial development, urbanization and environmental pollution has posed to be a dangerous problem from all corners-air, water, noise, agriculture and health and challenge to modern civilization and society.
The dream of “GREEN AGRA” can be made true by making and adopting suitable systematic approach which will minimize the problem to the level which will not cause harmful impacts if it does not eradicate completely. Any activity becomes creativity when the doer cares about doing it right. So, making Agra green is only needed to change our activity into creativity. Systematic and planned urbanization, zoning of industries, preserving and maintenance of green belt, wide road with pedestal path, public transport facility, use of renewable source of energy, proper drainage system, rainwater harvesting, use of bio-fertilizer and above all making the people aware about problems and possible solutions, developing moral and ethics value to not to waste anything. Beside this we should also adopt ourselves according to the environment. It has rightly been said that “great thought speaks only to the thoughtful mind but great action speaks to the all mankind”.
