EIA 2020: An Environmental Compromise

Authors: Niteesh Shanbog

The battle between conservation and industrialization gains a new dimension with the recent changes to the EIA brought out by the Government of India. While the Government wants to cut down on the red tape and inefficiency associated with the lackadaisical bureaucracy, the new amendments significantly compromise on the basic principles of environmental conservation. This essay, while exploring the need for the new laws with regards to India’s growing economic aspiration, also discusses why messing around with the environment is not a wise idea. The social and moral aspects of changing environmental laws, which actually accelerates environmental degradation is also looked at. This essay concludes that economic growth by compromising with nature is not sustainable in the long term and that this policy must have a relook.
