Environment as the term itself indicates is anything that surrounds or environs us. Environment in this sense is made of all those things which though distinct from us affect our life or activity in some way. It consists of all surroundings and influences, whatsoever that are present whenever an event occurs.

It refers to those forces, situations, or stimuli that affect the environment from outside. Environment is thus not a simple but a complex phenomenon and consists of various forms such as physical environment, biological environment, social environment and supra-social environment. The physical environment consists of the geographical, the climatic and the controlled geographical environment. The biological environment includes the plant and animals found all round man. The social environment consists of three kinds of environments—economic, cultural and psycho-social environments. The supra-social environment consists of the notions regarding God or supernatural power.
