Its an attempt to control human impact on and interaction with the environment in order to preserve natural resources Environmental management focuses on the improvement of human welfare for present and future generations. Administrative functions that develop, implement, and monitor the environmental policy of an organization.

Environment Management Concept

Sustainable Development

India is the world's sixth largest and second fastest growing producer of greenhouse gases.Delhi , Mumbai and Chennai are three of the world's ten most polluted cities.Two-thirds of city dwellers lack sewerage; one-third lack potable water. Significance in India

National Environmental Policy

Conservation of Critical Environmental ResourcesLivelihood Security for the PoorEnvironmental GovernanceEnhancement of Resources for Environmental ConservationThe National Environment Policy is intended to mainstream environmental concerns in all development activities.

Current Condition in India

India lags behind in putting forward any system for planned management of its fragile eco-system that is in constant conflict with the needs of development .Indian scenario is bleak, what with all round failures in arresting the population growth with attendant pressures on land and scarce natural resources , increasing urbanisation , industrialisation , growth in rapacious consumption , wasteful life styles In India, relationship between westernised models of development and the preservation environment on the face of its fight against poverty, the conflict exists broadly on three levels:-

Environmental Conflict

Some castigate excessive concern for environment as a result of conspiracy of the developed nations against progress in the underdeveloped countries like India and maintain that India may address issues concerning environment only after it reaches the level of production and consumption of the industrialised nations.

Some others feel that concern for environment is bound to divert attention from the problems of the poor. Environment, to this group has nothing to do with trying to give a better deal to the large and ever growing population.

Some believe that in India at least the very large and ever-growing population is responsible for the environment crises.

Environmental Issues in India

Air Pollution

Nobody is very clearabout what exactly it encompasses. Spend at least 2% of net profits on CSR. Made to spend voluntary. Instead of defining CSR, the Indian government recast it as "responsible business" in a set of voluntary guidelines for firms.No Clear Definition, but Plenty of DebateCSR should actually relate to the way you conduct your business, whereas it gets confused with giving to the local communities in which you operate.

Corporate Social Responsibility in India

Sustainable development in India encompasses a variety of development schemes in social, cleantech (clean energy, clean water and sustainable agriculture) and human resources segments.

India is expected to begin the greening of its national income accounting, making depletion in natural resources wealth a key component in its measurement of gross domestic product (GDP).

Sustainable development in India

The number of carbon credits issued for emission reduction projects in India is set to triple to 246 million by December 2012 from 72 million in November 2009. This will cement India's second position in the global carbon credits market (technically called Certified Emission Reduction units or CERs).India's renewable energy capacity to increase to 20,000 megawatt (MW) by December 2012, from the current 15,542 MW. The contribution of renewable energy to the power business in India has now reached 70 per cent, compared to 10 per cent in 2000.Growth in use of green technologies has put India on the green-building leader board with countries such as the US. About 2-3 per cent of all construction in India is green, as good as (in) the US. In the next two or three years, we want to bring it up to 10 per cent, which will put us on top Major Achievements

The US$ 1.79 billion Indian lighting market is estimated to be growing at 18 per cent annually and switching rapidly to energy-efficient systems.On the back of the incentive package for electric vehicles average monthly sales of electric two-wheelers has risen 20 per cent.

National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO), the Navratna PSU, under the Union Ministry of Mines, Govt. of India, has become the first PSU in the country by implementing a pilot-cum-demonstration project on Carbon Sequestration in its captive power plant at Angul.

State-owned Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited (GACL) has entered into an agreement with a Germany-based specialty chemicals maker, Evonik Industries for setting up a multi-million Hydrogen Peroxide and Propylene Oxide (HPPO) project at Dahej in Gujarat. This project would be based on an innovative, environment friendly HPPO technology.Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), an agency of the US Government, has signed an agreement with Azure Power to fund its 15 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) project in Gujarat. The investment in the US$ 40 million project will be led by OPIC.The worlds first facility to manufacture carbon foam batteries will be set up at Bavla near Ahmedabad. Firefly Energy India is planning to build a plant to produce carbon foam batteries at an investment of US$ 28 million.State Bank of India (SBI) - Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), a collaboration of over 550 global institutional investors with assets under management of US$ 71 trillion.

Corporate Investments

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has informed that the progress in implementing the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission is satisfactory and according to schedule.

The Ministry has sanctioned 802 MW capacities of grid-connected solar projects and 36 MW of off-grid solar projects.

In addition, six major research projects include setting up of National Centre for Photovoltaic Research and Education at IIT-Bombay were also approved.

National Solar Mission

National Mission in hybrid and electric vehicles. Allocations of US$ 89.41 million from National Clean Energy fund for speeding up The National Mission for a Green India. Extension of Tax holiday for the power sector by one year.

Government Initiatives

A budgetary provision (2011-12) of US$ 56.6 million has been made for research and development in new and renewable energy for the first four years of the 11th Five Year Plan of the MNRE.

The government would dole out US$ 335 million over the next two years to banks and finance companies to lend money to solar energy projects at a generous 5 per cent interest rate, top government official said. The money would be lent to small solar projects adding up to 200 MW by companies like Sidbi, Nabard and National Housing Bank. These lenders would be provided interest-free loans by IREDA.

IFC will provide up to US$ 15 million in corporate equity financing to Simran Wind Project Private Limited (Simran), a privately-owned entity which is into wind-based power production. The company will use the money to finance its pipeline projects worth US$ 40 million in Tamil Nadu.

Solaire direct Energy India is in talks with the Gujarat government to set up a 20 MW plant at the Solar Energy Park in Kutch at an estimated cost of US$ 67.1 million.

Punjab government has initiated an ambitious clean energy project to generate 1,500 MW power from the run of the canal turbines. The Punjab Energy Development Agency (Peda) has already developed an indigenous prototype of the turbines.

To facilitate fast track exploration of shale gas, the Ministry for Petroleum and Natural Gas expects the process of carving out suitable blocks to be completed by April 2011, which would allow floating of the first round of auctions of shale gas blocks in August 2011.
