1 - Introduction Gujarat is known for its entrepreneurial spirit, festivals and vibrancy. Ever since Gujarat was
separated from Maharashtra in 1960, it has been growing at even a faster pace. The state has
become the hub of Chemical industries, which include Petrochemical, Fertilizer, Pesticide,
Petroleum refinery, Synthetic chemical etc.

Gujarat was always an important trading post from the times
immemorial, the fast paced globalization rise above
domestic competition with other states. Various companies
have set in Gujarat, which opened up the doors of
employment to many but also increased the pollution level at
a great extent, which ultimately led to their closure with the
directions from Hon'ble High Court. After a lot of
deliberation on the subject, the Government of Gujarat
decided to set up an Institute on the lines of NEERI, Nagpur.
The Gujarat Environment Management Institute (GEMI), is
an autonomous body registered under both Society
Registration Act 1860 as well as Bombay Public Trust Act
1950. It was thus set up with an objective of preserving and
protecting the environment of Gujarat. It was envisaged that
the Institute that would provide environmental solutions to
all concerned.
The Gujarat Environment Management Institute (GEMI) was constituted in accordance with the Govt.
Resolution No. ENV-1098-1280-P, dated 01-02-1999 issued by the Forest & Environment
Department, Government of Gujarat, with its Head Quarter at Vadodara. The GEMI was registered
under the Society of Registration Act, 1860 vide the Registration No. Gujarat/1380/Vadodara dated 01-
03-1999 as well as under the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950 vide the Public Trust Register no.
F/1065/Vadodara, dated 01-03-1999. The Institute shifted its headquarter to Gandhinagar on 1st
November 2011. The Institute has now developed a full-fledged laboratory which includes testing of
Air, Water, wastewater, microbiology and Soil. The laboratory has been recognized by Government of
Gujarat as “State Laboratory” under the Air Act 1981 and Water Act 1978. The Institute has been
handling many Governments and Private projects. The revamped Institute has been now contributing to
the environmental action based on awareness about the environment issues.
The Mission statement of
GEMI
To Promote Conservation, Protection, and Management of
the Total Environment of Gujarat through Scientific and
Technical Pursuits in order to maintain or restore the
pristine elements of such Environment.
