Abstract

Environmental pollution which has become a world-wide problem is receiving considerable attention these days. Today, more than ever before, there is considerable concern about deterioration of environment arising from environmental pollutionwater, air, noise, radiation and others. For, such pollution has huge adverse impact on human health and the hazards it poses are too numerous. There is a need to strike balance between environment and development popularly referred to as ‘sustainable development’. The environment of the developing countries in general and India in particular is faced with twin pressure of population and development, resulting in deterioration and depletion of the natural resources at an alarming fast rate. There is a felt need for environmental protection and its effective management. An important facet of environmental management and sustainable development is the environmental regulations and its effective implementation. The paper focuses on the legal and regulatory aspects (issues and implications) of environment and its preservation in Indian context. The legal regime for environmental conservation becomes important as it highlights the problems and suggests measures to make the system of regulatory environmental management more effective and proactive.
