Title

Indias environmental policy paradox: dissecting Indias budgetary allocations for environment

Creator

Boora S.; Karakunnel M.T.

Description

This paper examines Indias environmental policies and budget allocations from 20162024, revealing a focus on infrastructure that may overshadow environmental conservation. Significant discrepancies between policy rhetoric and budgetary commitments suggest that there is a need for realignment. Advocating an environment-centric approach, the study calls for increased budgetary commitments to environmental protection, a strategic shift away from fossil fuels, and stringent regulatory oversight, all essential to ensure sustainable development in India. 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
