Union of States comprising and 7 Union Territories, India occupies a very strategic
position in Asia. This second most populous country in the world (after China) and seventh

This land mass is diverse, ranging from the snow clad regions of the Himalayas to the arid desert of Rajasthan, from the grasslands of Gujarat to the sal forests of central India, from the tropical forests of Kerala, eastward to the mangrove swamps of the Sunderbans and the evergreen forests of Assam. With this amazing diversity in habitat there is a corresponding variety and richness in the flora and founa. And, most important of all, in a country of over 800 million people, these natural forests and wilderness areas continue to survive. |
