Since the dawn of the Industrial age there has been slow accretion of wastes on the planet. These wastes are the by products in the production of Industrial goods. In contrast to natural processes where everything gets transformed into some form or other within a certain period, these Industrial wastes left over have accumulated in the atmosphere, on the earth and in water bodies. According to field study data focused that, public health steadily declined due to consumption of water polluted by effluents. Residents of the village suffer from epilepsy, respiratory diseases, skin and throat problem, glaucoma, paraplegia, jaundice, typhoid, diarrhea, joint pains and cancer. Women and children are the most affected. In some cases even the pregnancy is affected. Also the total land became barren/ damaged is 266 acres belonging to 177 farmers, along with agricultural equipment loss. Nearly 100 families were lost their occupation i.e. toddy tapping, about 322 animals were died of consumption of polluted water. Industrialization, contrary to belief, has resulted in unemployment. Pollution has displaced several traditional families and professions. Thus, industrialization had deprived the rural people of the drinking water facilities which they were having earlier and it had also caused a change in the source of irrigation as most of them who were depending on tanks and steam water for irrigation.
