ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT CONCEPT

Its an attempt to control human impact on and

interaction with the environment in order to preserve
natural resources
Environmental management focuses on the
improvement of human welfare for present and future
generations.
Administrative functions that develop, implement,
and monitor the environmental policy of an
organization.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

SIGNIFICANCE IN INDIA

India is the world's sixth

largest and second fastest
growing producer of
greenhouse gases.
Delhi , Mumbai and Chennai
are three of the world's ten
most polluted cities.
Two-thirds of city dwellers
lack sewerage; one-third lack
potable water.

NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL
POLICY

National Forest Policy, 1988

National Conservation Strategy
and Policy Statement on
Environment and
Development, 1992
Policy Statement on Abatement
of Pollution,1992

OBJECTIVES OF THE
NATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
POLICY

Conservation of Critical Environmental Resources

Livelihood Security for the Poor
Environmental Governance
Enhancement of Resources for Environmental Conservation
The National Environment Policy is intended to mainstream
environmental concerns in all development activities.

CURRENT CONDITION IN
INDIA

Rapid growing Population

Economic Development

Uncontrolled Growth of
Urbanization

Industrialization/ Globalisation

Expansion and Massive

Intensification of agriculture

Destruction of Forests

ENVIRONMENTAL CONFLICT

India lags behind in putting forward any

system for planned management of its fragile
eco-system that is in constant conflict with the
needs of development .

Indian scenario is bleak, what with all round

failures in arresting the population growth with
attendant pressures on land and scarce natural
resources , increasing urbanisation ,
industrialisation , growth in rapacious
consumption , wasteful life styles

In India, relationship between westernised

models of development and the preservation
environment on the face of its fight against
poverty, the conflict exists broadly on three
levels:-

Some castigate excessive concern for environment as a result of conspiracy of

the developed nations against progress in the underdeveloped countries like
India and maintain that India may address issues concerning environment only
after it reaches the level of production and consumption of the industrialised
nations.

Some others feel that concern for environment is bound to divert attention
from the problems of the poor. Environment, to this group has nothing to do
with trying to give a better deal to the large and ever growing population.

Some believe that in India at least the very large and ever-growing
population is responsible for the environment crises.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN

INDIA

Nobody is very clear about what exactly it encompasses.

Spend at least 2% of net profits

on CSR.
Made to spend voluntary.
Instead of defining CSR, the
Indian government recast it as
"responsible business"
in a set of voluntary guidelines for firms.
No Clear Definition, but Plenty of Debate
CSR should actually relate to the way you conduct your business,
whereas it gets confused with giving to the local communities in which
you operate.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA

Sustainable development in India encompasses a variety of

development schemes in social, cleantech (clean energy, clean
water and sustainable agriculture) and human resources
segments.
India is expected to begin the greening of its national income
accounting, making depletion in natural resources wealth a key
component in its measurement of gross domestic product
(GDP).

MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS

The number of carbon credits issued for emission reduction

projects in India is set to triple to 246 million by December 2012
from 72 million in November 2009.

This will cement India's second position in the global carbon

credits market (technically called Certified Emission Reduction
units or CERs).

India's renewable energy capacity to increase to 20,000 megawatt

(MW) by December 2012, from the current 15,542 MW.

The contribution of renewable energy to the power business in

India has now reached 70 per cent, compared to 10 per cent in
2000.

Growth in use of green technologies has put India on the greenbuilding leader board with countries such as the US. About 2-3
per cent of all construction in India is green, as good as (in) the
US. In the next two or three years, we want to bring it up to 10
per cent, which will put us on top

The US$ 1.79 billion Indian lighting market is estimated to be growing at

18 per cent annually and switching rapidly to energy-efficient systems.
On the back of the incentive package for electric vehicles average monthly
sales of electric two-wheelers has risen 20 per cent.

National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO), the Navratna PSU, under

the Union Ministry of Mines, Govt. of India, has become the first PSU in
the country by implementing a pilot-cum-demonstration project on Carbon
Sequestration in its captive power plant at Angul.

CORPORATE
INVESTMENTS

State-owned Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited (GACL) has

entered into an agreement with a Germany-based specialty chemicals maker,
Evonik Industries for setting up a multi-million Hydrogen Peroxide and
Propylene Oxide (HPPO) project at Dahej in Gujarat. This project would be
based on an innovative, environment friendly HPPO technology.

Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), an agency of the US

Government, has signed an agreement with Azure Power to fund its 15 MW
solar photovoltaic (PV) project in Gujarat. The investment in the US$ 40
million project will be led by OPIC.

The worlds first facility to manufacture carbon foam batteries will be set
up at Bavla near Ahmedabad. Firefly Energy India is planning to build a
plant to produce carbon foam batteries at an investment of US$ 28 million.

State Bank of India (SBI) - Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), a

collaboration of over 550 global institutional investors with assets under
management of US$ 71 trillion.

NATIONAL SOLAR
MISSION

The Ministry of New and Renewable

Energy (MNRE) has informed that the
progress in implementing the Jawaharlal
Nehru National Solar Mission is satisfactory
and according to schedule.

The Ministry has sanctioned 802 MW

capacities of grid-connected solar projects
and 36 MW of off-grid solar projects.

In addition, six major research projects

include setting up of National Centre for
Photovoltaic Research and Education at IITBombay were also approved.

GOVERNMENT
INITIATIVES

National Mission in hybrid and electric

vehicles.

Allocations of US$ 89.41 million from

National Clean Energy fund for speeding up
The National Mission for a Green India.

Extension of Tax holiday for the power sector

by one year.

A budgetary provision (2011-12) of US$ 56.6

million has been made for research and
development in new and renewable energy for the
first four years of the 11th Five Year Plan of the
MNRE.

 The government would dole out US$ 335 million over the next two years to
banks and finance companies to lend money to solar energy projects at a
generous 5 per cent interest rate, top government official said. The money
would be lent to small solar projects adding up to 200 MW by companies like
Sidbi, Nabard and National Housing Bank. These lenders would be provided
interest-free loans by IREDA.
IFC will provide up to US$ 15 million in corporate equity financing to Simran
Wind Project Private Limited (Simran), a privately-owned entity which is into
wind-based power production. The company will use the money to finance its
pipeline projects worth US$ 40 million in Tamil Nadu.
Solaire direct Energy India is in talks with the Gujarat government to set up a
20 MW plant at the Solar Energy Park in Kutch at an estimated cost of US$
67.1 million.

Punjab government has initiated an ambitious clean

energy project to generate 1,500 MW power from the
run of the canal turbines. The Punjab Energy
Development Agency (Peda) has already developed an
indigenous prototype of the turbines.

To facilitate fast track exploration of shale gas, the

Ministry for Petroleum and Natural Gas expects the
process of carving out suitable blocks to be
completed by April 2011, which would allow
floating of the first round of auctions of shale gas
blocks in August 2011.
