The management institutions in India are lagging behind in so far as teaching EMS is concerned. The reasons for this are analysed. These include Government inertia, insensitivity of business and industry and chambers of commerce, scarcity of faculty and teaching materials and apathy of public. Case Study of IMT is cited in support of the some of the reasons. Students - managers if offered course(s) in EMS can acquire necessary skills that would help them in decision making process. It has been pointed out that industry has a major share in causing damage to environment, therefore it must be involved in formulating curriculum in EMS and should sponsor environment related courses. Environmental and resource management consultancy is another virgin area for the purpose of employment of student-managers.
