                             Tiwari committee (1980)

The Tiwari committee was set up in February 1980 to suggest administrative and legislative measures that out to be taken for the protection of the environment. This committee submitted its report in September 1980and made for reaching recommendations. According to this for the protection of the environment.

1.       Land and water management.
2.       Natural living resources.
3.       Environmental pollution and environmental impact assessment.
4.       Human settlement.
5.       Environmental education and awareness.

 

 The committee reviewed the exciting laws related to the environment and pointed out the following shortcoming:

1.       Many laws were outdated.
2.       The law does not spell out policy objectives.
3.       Some of them were mutually inconsistent.
4.       The law did not have explicit provision for adequate and effective implementation of the law. 

5.       There was no exposes provision of the procedure to review the efficiency and effectiveness of the law.

As a result of this report the environmental department was set up at both the level-central and state level- and an independent ministry and department come into existence in 1981.

The Tiwari committee also surveys the law enforce at the time – directly or indirectly related to the environment and found there number as 200.but it was felt that there were some gaps to be filled and some of the area of the environment were uncovered by air pollution. Further, it was recommended that to tackle the environment it required cooperative, coordinative, and conceive the effort on the part of the government and non-government organizations (NGOs).

On the basis of the study and analysis of the law committee suggest many of recommendation and some on the important once are as follows.

1.       Comprehensive review and reform of some central and the state Act.
2.       To legislate on area of environment not covered by the existing law.
3.       Introduction of “environmental protection” is the defined list of seven schedules.

The report of the Tiwari committee has also been criticized as it concludes in the basic of collection of the law explicitly dating with environment protection only that no symmetric approach was adapted to arrive at the conclusion of the committee.

Dr. Chhatrapati Singh has suggested that environmental law can be classified structurally.
