Is there any Environmental Goals in India?

Question

We have seen Delhi not selected for hosting the Asian Games and the reason cited was 'Pollution and Traffic choas'. Millions across the country are not having access to good water. Every day millions in cities are exposed to air pollution leading to the biggest public health concerns. There are no proper solid waste disposal in many many cities. As industralisation becomes the mantra for many cities, rivers and land are polluted due to industrial discharges. All these have long term effect and these problems sometimes are irreversible. Indeed, India is in the economical growth mood, but sadly our environment is not taken care off. London and UK has set up national goals for reducing energy. Is it time for India to set up Environmental Goals and make every citizen and goivernment agencies accountable. What can we do to set up goals and make our country a enjoyable place to live and play.

Probably not, other than to produce produce and produce even more at any expense.  Kind of like China or the United States

Answer 2

I don't think so.

Answer 3

You have asked a wonderful question!

Apparently key areas of environment degradation are known to you but not politics of foreign direct investment!

If India is filled with manufacturing facilities (that will degrade Indian environment) who is real loser?

If "no losses" from it why environmental goals are needed?

I don't know an exact answer to your question but answered it to retain "es sense of Yahoo India answers"!
