1.6 Inter-Relationship Between Different Aspects of Health,
Population and Environment Education

Health, population and environment education are inter-related and inter dependent
on one another. We must have knowledge and understanding about them. If we lack
knowledge on any one of them, the rest of others become incomplete. For example,
people like to live in the places having fresh air, supply of drinking water, etc. Clean
environment makes the life of people healthier. Due to population growth, there is
increase in environment degradation, increase of pollution, spreading of diseases and
many other environmental problems. Likewise, it is only the human beings who can use
the resources in environment in sustainable way and manage them properly. That is how,
health, population and environment are inter-related with each other.
We can show the inter-relationship between health, population and environment
education through the following chart:
