Solution
The Indian Constitution, under the Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV), emphasizes the responsibility of the State to protect the environment. This is specifically mentioned in Article 48A, which was added by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976. It states: “The State shall endeavour to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wild life of the country.”
“The State shall endeavour to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wild life of the country.”
This principle falls under the General Directive Principles and reflects the State’s duty to ensure ecological balance and environmental preservation for present and future generations.
“protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wild life, and to have compassion for living creatures.”
Thus, protection of the environment is both a directive to the State and a duty of the citizens, promoting a joint effort toward sustainable development.
