Abstract

After the study of EIA practices adopted by various countries, it is realized that almost all the countries have a concern for environmental protection. The study of EIA practices adopted reveals that system of EIA evaluation is prevailing in almost all the countries. Even in India, the EIA evaluation is existing since long. Further Ministry of Environment and Forest, Govt. of India has decentralized the process by creating State Level Environmental Impact Assessment Authorities (SEIAA), at state level. This has certainly reduced the time taken to evaluate a proposal and issue an environmental clearance. But it is realized that the degree of subjectivity is still very high in the process of EIA evaluation. Available mathematical tools like Fuzzy Logic etc. may be used for decision making to ensure high degree of objectivity in the process.
