Environmental studies have taken an important place among the thinkers as well as policy-makers of both developed and developing countries.  Gradually the related concepts like ecology, biodiversity, conservation of natural resources, sustainable development and others started to emerge and in economics also a new branch called environmental economics has now to stay.

Though there is an acceptable definition of sustainable development as per the Bruntland Commission, yet under the current development paradigm of neo-liberal thinking, it is not very easy to implement in actual practice the operative part of it.  An attempt is made in this volume to understand the problems related with environment and sustainable development and especially those which are particularly relevant for India.
