Towards Better Regime of Environment
With the creation of Department of Environment, and now Ministry of Environment and Forest, at the Centre, which plays an advisory, co-ordinating and 'watch dog' role, our environmental protection activities have received an impetus. A nodal agency is thus created to look at the problem, not from narrow angle but in a wider and co-ordinatig perspective. No doubt the innovation in bringing forest and environment under one ministry will ease the pitch for an integrated approach towards environmental protection.
