Description:This book discusses the continued emphasis on development gains in India's national policies and its quest to meet its Sustainable Development Goals. It offers an analysis of the laws and infrastructure for environment protection in the country and its ineffectiveness in dealing with the water pollution which have had dire consequences on India's ecological landscape.The book, while highlighting the need and importance of industrial development, argues for sustainable measures to moderate and monitor such developmental efforts in the light of severe environmental degradations.
