    mApproved by the Union Cabinet on 18 May, 2006

    mThe National Environment Policy seeks to extend the coverage,


    and fill in gaps of the existing policies
    mIt is a response to our national commitment to a clean
    environment, mandated in the Constitution in Articles 48 A and 51
    A (g), strengthened by judicial interpretation of Article 21
     It is recognized that maintaining a healthy environment is not
    the state's responsibility alone, but also that of every citizen.
     It is intended to mainstream environmental concerns in all
    development activities
     The National Environment Policy is intended to be a guide to
    action:
    ë In regulatory reform, programmes and projects for
    environmental conservation;
    ë Review and enactment of legislation, by agencies of the
    Central, State, and Local Governments.

     The key environmental challenges that the country faces relate to
    environmental degradation with poverty and economic growth.
     The Divers of environmental degradation are:
    ë population growth
    ë inappropriate technology and consumption choices,
    ë poverty
    ë changes in relations between people and ecosystems,
    ë development activities such as intensive agriculture, polluting
    industry, and unplanned urbanisation.
     The loss of the environmental resource base can result in
    certain groups of people being made destitute, even if overall,
    the economy shows strong growth.
     poor environmental quality has adversely affected human
    health
     Another major set of challenges arises from emerging global
    environmental concerns such as climate change, stratospheric
    ozone depletion, and biodiversity loss.
