Green revolution is one of the basic need to save our planet and our country from burning environmental issues, there were quantum bounce in the use of synthetic pesticides which play an important role in agriculture to control destructive pests such as insects, weeds, plant disease causing pathogenic organisms, nematodes, arthropods and vertebrates, that cause danger to quality of food products such as fruits and vegetables, hazardous to the environment, affects soil fertility and causing imbalance in nature. Currently there have been some Physico -chemical and biological methods which are used to reduce pesticides. However, these methods are not efficient, cost effective and time consuming. Whereas, bioremediation is novel tool or ecofriendly approach used for cleaning up contaminated environments using different microbial species such as bacteria, fungi, Actinomycetes and some green plants. Bioremediation is less invasive method, ecofriendly, economical, more efficient and restorative of soil function. Most of the pesticides generally fall into the major classes of organochlorines, chlorophynoxy acids, carbamates, organophosphorous. My present study focused on understanding bioremediation mechanisms, involvements of different microbes and its vital role in removing pesticides of different categories
