Read the following essay and make notes. Write a short summary too.
India faces a host of environmental challenges. Air pollution, water pollution, solid
waste management and degradation of the natural environment have all been major
challenges for India. The situation was worse between 1947 through 1995. According
to data collection and environment assessment studies of World Bank experts,
between 1995 through 2010, India made extremely fast progress in addressing its
environmental issues and improving its environmental quality, similar to those
enjoyed in developed economies.
British rule of India saw several laws related to the environment. Amongst
the earliest ones were Shore Nuisance (Bombay and Kolaba) Act of 1853 and
the Oriental Gas Company Act of 1857. Whilst these laws failed in having the desired
effect, British-enacted legislations led to the formulation of many environmental
regulations in India. The Bhopal Gas Tragedy triggered the Government of India to
enact the Environment (Protection) Act of 1986. India also enacted a set of Noise
Pollution (Regulation & Control) Rules in 2000,
In 1985, the Indian government created the Ministry of Environment and Forests.
This ministry is the central administrative organisation in India for regulating and
ensuring environmental protection
In 1990s, several reforms were introduced. That is when, for the first time in Indian
history, air pollution levels dropped in a five-year period. Satellite coverage confirms
that between 1992 and 2010, India's forest cover had grown for the first time by over
4 million hectares, registering a 7% increase. This positive trend must be sustained
for years to come.
