Indian Environmental Impact Assessment Practice

The efficacy of the EIA lies in meticulously applying the theory and concepts of the EIA in framing environmental policies and regulations, conducting and reviewing the EIA studies and EIA follow-up.
This book critically examines the different components of the Indian EIA practice and highlights the learnings.
Given that the case study method is well-recognized for learning and is accepted in top-ranking institutions, the book will immensely benefit academics in environmental science, environmental engineering, environmental planning, environmental management, business management, project management, economics and public administration at graduate and research levels. It should provoke researchers to pursue empirical studies and to devise innovative methodologies to evaluate different elements of the EIA practice to help ensure EIA objectivity.
The book will also be handy to environment ministries, EIA professionals, project proponents and multilateral institutions, such as the UNEP, World Bank, ADB, AfDB, ODA and ENGOs.
