Governance and environmental protection in Mizoram - 2016 - p.645-656. - Jul-Sep
Environmental protection has now become a global priority. of late, there has been an awakening in the urgent need of environmental protection owing to the fast changing climatic condition in Mizoram. Since most of the causes of environmental problems are largely man-made, the solutions for such problems depend largely upon the firm commitment of the people and good governance. The prevailing environmental problems in Mizoram are of varied nature; while the urban population are concerned with vehicular emission of smoke, the rural population are confronted with the problem of jhuming, i.e. the slash-and-burn method of cultivation. The organisational set-up and the people, prerequisites for governance, play an important role in the implementation and realisation of environmental protection programmes and schemes. This article studies the environmental concerns in Mizoram and the efforts undertaken in environmental protection. It also offers suggestions for improving and protecting the environment in the State. - Reproduced.
