Law

It becomes the need of the hour to understand various causes of failure of regulatory regime as India ranks at the bottom in a list of 180 countries in the 2022 Environmental performance Index. Although India has been forward in adopting various legislations to be in line with the international standards, results are not as expected, the only possible conclusion being that the administrative authorities are unable to implement laws to the required standard. With the creation of National Committee on Environmental Planning and Co-ordination in 1972, it set the basis for establishment of various pollution control boards. Primary focus of the research is to identify the root cause of failure in producing favourable outcomes and provide for solutions for the way forward.
