Abstract

" Environment plays a vital role in the over-all well-being of human existence and their development. Protection and conservation of environment is the need of the hour. The need is also to ensure the sustainable utilization of the existing natural resources. The fact is also being strongly reflected in the constitutional framework of India as well as in India’s international commitments. Under Part IVA of constitution (Article 48A- Directive Principles of State Policies) stipulates that the State shall try to improve and protect the environment and safeguard forests and wildlife of the country. Furthermore, Part IVA of the Constitution also (Article 51A- Fundamental Duties), casts a duty on every citizen to improve and protect the nature and have compassion for all living beings. Since the 1970s, a number of environment legislations have been put forward. The apex administrative body in India i.e Ministry of Environment and Forest was established in year 1985. Today MoEF is responsible for regulating and ensuring environmental protection and lays down the legal and regulatory framework for the same. The present manuscript is an effort to review the Law pertaining protection and conservation of the environment and their sustainable utilization in India with special emphasis on State of Jharkhand."
