The present research paper has been made an attempt in to analyze Status of wild life and tourist attractions in Chandoli Wildlife Sanctuary of Maharashtra. Maharashtra at a junction of four districts i.e. Kolhapur, Satara, Sangli and Ratnagiri District. India an sub-continent with vast variation in relief, climate, vegetation. There is a exacting diversity in habitats of over 350 species of mammal, 350 species of reptiles, 1200 species of birds and countless insects. The protected forest, national park, sanctuaries, tiger reserves Marine Park and Himalayan wilderness’ are the integral part of eco-tourism. India has more than 80 national park, 441 wildlife sanctuaries, 23 tiger reserves.
Today, India has tremendous potential for eco-tourism. It is need to emphasize eco-tourism development and promotion of destination in the country to attract more eco-tourist, for socio-economic development and promotion of conservation .But, for development of destination need strategic planning. Present research paper focus on status and range of wild life and tourist attractions in Chandoli Wild life Sanctuary. This sanctuary of Maharashtra is one of the popular national parks in India. It is located in the western part of the state of Maharashtra and is surrounded by the Kolhapur, Satara, Sangli, and Ratnagiri District. Plenty of tourists and nature lovers visit to the Chandoli sanctuaries from Konkan region. Entire research paper is based on primary as well as secondary data such as journals, internet, various published Govt. Report etc. and information obtained through filed work. Analyses of the data information have been done with the help of cartographic method, photograph, table, maps, etc.

In this study a new method of forest road planning was presented with the composition of the source of programming codes and formulas of forest roads planning in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 software. In this method the road was planed automatically with operator edition. Operators can select the best route among different alternatives based on their experts. This program (FORENG 1.0) is not optimization software but it has high accuracy in planning after considering all effective factors. If the operator has sufficient experience, the planned route with this method will have high accuracy. For planning of route with this method high expert in computer and software sciences is need. The planner must be educated in programming languages to apply all effective factors in forest road planning. Of course, with providing of this software under open code and with replacing user formula through users this problem is solved.

The environmental concern for air pollution has largely been focused on the question of pollution outdoors. The indoor air pollutants are nearly the same as that of the outdoor ones. However, in some instances the concentration of indoor pollutants exceeds the standard set for the outdoors. These pollutants reach such a high level although they are emitted in small volumes but they cannot escape easily from the buildings due to lack of proper ventilation. Indoor air pollution is more harmful and poses greater health hazards because on average a person spends nearly 16 to 18 hours indoors. The data from recent studies indicate that risk-wise, it ranks only below malnutrition and poor quality of water / sanitation. But, health hazards of housewives have been traditionally underestimated in the developing countries. It is considered as a social responsibility of the women. The work of housewives can be categorized as hazardous occupation as they might be exposed to volatile organic compounds and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons veryday. There are evidences that indoor air pollution may increase the risk of respiratory tract infections and lung cancer among housewives. Eventhough, the degree of this problem is identified; social scientists have only recently started to pay attention to this issue and to investigate plan for reducing IAP.
Keeping these points in mind, in this paper; we provide a survey of the accessible literature on the indoor air pollution and its impact on health.
