At this point of time there are about Rs.50,000 crores (or more than 11 billions of dollar ) worth of proposed industrial projects are held up in the quagmire of legality, regulatory bindings, community demands, and political machinations, etc. There are many grey areas where management skill, stewardship, innovation, sense and sensibility can pull one project ahead of the other. Environmental and community concerns are foremost in the considerations of project clearance. Example setting is a winning way in the process. There is also one area of regulations, more difficult than other hosts of clearance, where the scope of maneuverability is very little - forest clearance. While the major delays in the forest clearance is procedural and administrative this is also a process that demands clarity among the proponents. All these are adding up to why there is a need to understand regulatory and community requirements of environmental clearance. This book is current treatise on this subject, on the aspects and concerns spelt above.
