PERSPECTIVES
India's environmental challenges are assuming gigantic proportions. Factors like our exploding population, changes in consumption patterns and poverty are putting immense pressure on the environment. Another big challenge is lack of environmental awareness and conservation. A multi-pronged approach involving all relevant stakeholders proactively with accountability and ownership by 'all' has to be the way forward to handle this mammoth task of environment management and its rejuvenation.
