Protection of the environment is the main concern of the present world. The development of international environmental legal framework during 1970s laid to the foundation of environmental jurisprudence of many countries. India has enacted number of environmental legislations and policy formulation to protect environment and safeguard the interest of citizens. The role of the executive branch of the government of India is to implement these laws in society and to derive its true spirit. The Central Government and the State governments have their own ministries on environment for implementation of environmental laws and regulations. Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) is the nodal agency for coordinating the environmental protection and regulatory mechanism throughout the country. Also, SPCBs are the authority for planning, monitoring, research and development, education and training in pollution control. But at various times it has been observed that the activities of this administration are influenced by political leaders or groups and adopt rules and regulations which result in degradation instead of environmental protection. | |
