P.G.Diploma in Environmental Law            

             Our country confronts with severe environmental constraints due to its limited natural resources combined with high population pressure resulting in problem of water, sewage, waste disposal and other forms related to poverty and infectious diseases. There are also new problem of industrial pollution, agrochemicals and hazardous wastes. Although modernization and urbanization have blessed the society with a lot of amenities and comforts, they have aggravated environmental hazards and deterioration. There was no serious environmental consciousness in India during the early periods of developmental programme after independence. There were, therefore, no general provisions in Part IV and Part IV A of the constitution. Various efforts are now being made to control Indian environmental problems. The number of public litigation cases related to the environment has significantly increased. Many major environmental judgments have been delivered. The judiciary has emerged as an important pro-environmental factor, especially after the Bhopal accident. Public action groups have appeared through out the country and there has been an enormous growth in the literature on environmental problems from technical, social and policy perspectives.

            Environmental law has now become an independent discipline. In order to increase awareness among the public on the relevance of various Indian environmental laws, more particularly to the practicing Advocates, Bureaucrats, Technocrats, and members of the NGOs engaged in environmental conservations and management, the Sambalpur University is offering a P.G.
