This book discusses the continued emphasis on development gains in
India’s national policies and its quest to meet sustainable
development goals. It offers an analysis of the laws and
infrastructure for environment protection in the country and their
ineffectiveness in dealing with the water pollution which has 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 light of severe environmental
degradations. Focusing on the state of Gujarat, it looks at
published and un-published data on industrial development and water
pollution levels and data obtained via applications filed under the
Right to Information Act. It also offers a detailed account of the
concentration of red industries which release the most hazardous
pollutants and their effects on the environment. The authors look
at the data from a theoretical and empirical perspective, offering
insights into how the checks and balances levied by the state have
been violated. They highlight the patterns and trends which emerge
from the study of these developmental efforts and underline the
need to improve the effectiveness of policy instruments, and the
need to diversify the existing mechanisms. The book will be of
great interest to students and researchers of environment and
development studies, public policy, sociology, law and governance,
human ecology and economics.
