NDA government has done well on pollution standards and monitoring, but needs to do much more on green clearances, forestry and its flagship schemes on sanitation and the Ganga: CSE
With the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government entering its third year in power, the New Delhi-based public research and advocacy think tank Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), has reviewed and analysed the government on measures of environmental governance, particularly as undertaken by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC). CSE released the analysis here today. “The NDA government has taken some important steps towards improving the way we manage our environment and our resources. At the same time, some of the big steps that it has initiated are in the danger of remaining mere half-measures if a course correction is not carried out immediately. The CSE analysis is perhaps the first detailed assessment done in the country which examines the government’s record after two years in terms of environment,” says Chandra Bhushan, deputy director general, CSE.
