In recent years, we have seen a change in the understanding of people that there is a relationship between financial growth and quality of environment jointly with a broad awareness of environmental issues. The Indian culture promotes a focus on environmental wellbeing and the requirement for preservation and continuous utilization of three thousand years old habitual wealth and is added in the law, parliamentary work, and national environmentpolicy structure with some international commitments.
In this study, we tried to understand the basic concept of the Environment, Environment Law which is attempting to protect the Environment. We further tried to understand the nature and complete scope of Environmental law in India’s prospect. The environment is mainly gets destructed by Pollution; Pollution is the mixing of a polluting or poisonous substance into the environment that makes the environment impure and results in an adverse effect on nature. Pollution is classified based on affected elements of the environment namely air, water, and land. We tried to study the mechanism to protect the environment and found that the Indian law system has guided the separate authorities towards environmental protection of the State and Central governments. Environmental protection is practiced through voluntary environment protection agreements, ecosystem approach, etc. we also studied the ash disposal strategy by NTPC, India in detail.
Further, We studied “The National Green Tribunal Act, 2010 (No. 19 of 2010)” also known as NGT act had been deployed having a key objective to allocate for creation of a National Green Tribunal (NGT) for the efficient and speedy discarding of issues related to forest safeguarding, environment protection, and other natural assets. Finally, we conclude that it is the responsibility of every Indian to protect and improve the environment including rivers, lakes, forests, and wildlife, further, we must try to follow the rules deployed by the Indian legislation to protect the environment at the same time we should come with innovative ideas to reduce or eliminate the environmental pollution.
