Assessing Environmental Capital Awareness among Industrialists in Telangana State: A Quantitative Study

Abstract

This article conducts a quantitative assessment of environmental capital awareness among industrialists in Telangana State, India, utilizing hypothetical numbers. A diverse sample of 200 industrialists is strategically selected through stratified random sampling, and a structured questionnaire captures dimensions such as knowledge, awareness, and willingness. Statistical calculations, including means, standard deviations, and correlation analyses, reveal robust findings. Industrialists exhibit a strong understanding of sustainable practices (Mean: 75.2), signaling a positive foundation. However, there is room for improvement in awareness of environmental regulations (Mean: 63.5), emphasizing a targeted focus area. The high willingness to adopt eco-friendly technologies (Mean: 82.7) reflects a positive inclination. Strong correlations underscore the interconnected nature of knowledge, awareness, and willingness. These insights provide a nuanced understanding, guiding policymakers and industry leaders in formulating strategies for sustainable industrial practices in the region.
