    INTRODUCTION

    It is evident from the construction of the Constitution that the idea of environment was never
    there in the minds of the founding fathers of the Indian Constitution. However, there are many
    items in the legislative lists which enable the Centre and the State to make laws in the field of the
    environment like public health, sanitation, agriculture etc. There is no doubt in saying that it is
    the responsibility of the State to protect the environment. However, it took a long time for the
    Apex Court to pronounce explicitly that the right to life under Article 21 of the Constitution
    contains the right to have a healthy environment.

    AIM AND OBJECTIVE

    The main aim of the project is to study the relation between the Fundamental Rights enshrined in
    the Constitution and its relevance with the Environment and while doing so, to take into
    consideration the criticism of these laws as well as the various judgments related to it.

    HYPOTHESIS

    The Courts in India have played a distinguishing role in gradually enlarging the scope of a
    qualitative living by engaging themselves in and resolving various issues of environmental
    protection.

    RESEARCH QUESTIONS

    1. What are the steps taken at an International level with regards to the Environment
    Law?
