The Government of India's Human Resource Development Ministry established the Commission for Scientific and Technical Terminology in pursuance of the Presidential order in 1961 for popularisation and propagation of scientific knowledge in Hindi as medium of education at university level. Till date, the Commission has evolved the terms of different scientific and technical subjects, pan-Indian terminology, definitional dictionaries, digests, readings and also attempted to publish university level books in Hindi and other Indian languages. A revised and computerised "Comprehensive Glossary of Technical Terms-Sciences" was published in 1994.
In spite of all these efforts it was felt that the usage of established terminology has not reached a desired level, and keeping this objective in view, the Commission has started to bring out glossaries in the important branches of sciences, and under this scheme the Glossory of Environmental Science is being — published. In this glossary, the important and fundamental terms are included. Special care has been taken to see that only such scientific and selected terms are included which are commonly used by graduate and post-graduate students, research scholars and teachers. It is hoped that this new compendium would be widely appreciated and prove useful.
This is to acknowledge the help rendered by the concerned subject experts, linguists and the contribution offered by the offcials of the commission, universities, ministries and institutions who directly or indirectly assisted towards the successful completion of this task of national importance.
