(1) The document provides a review of environmental impact assessment (EIA). EIA identifies, predicts, and evaluates the environmental effects of proposed projects or activities.
(2) EIA is a tool used in decision making for development projects. It measures the environmental impacts of upcoming projects, including physical and social factors, and provides measures to minimize impacts.
(3) EIA has become a requirement in over 100 countries and is an important tool for deciding whether to approve a project at a particular site based on its environmental impacts. EIA also helps negotiate among developers, public groups, and regulators.

Implementing sustainable development Goals 1, 3.9, 7, and 13 through adoption...Innspub Net
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emerging from the Rio Earth Summit provided substantial synergy on environmental management. Kenya in her Vision 2030 agenda prioritized implementation of SDGs. This paper documents the evidence for the process of implementation of SDGs in Nairobi through adoption of green concept in environmental management. The emphasis is on the SDGs that are dependent on protected, conserved and preserved environment. Data was collected by surveying 92 households and five key informants (n=97) using semi-structured questionnaires, interviews and observations. The non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used to determine the degree of connectivity between the process of implementation of SDGs and adoption of the green concept in environmental management. The respondents’ knowledge, attitudes and practice on implementation of SDGs through green concept in environmental management was significantly low. About sixty percent thought SDG 1 would be enhanced through attributes that protect the environment while attributed implementation of SDG 3.9 would be implemented through preserved environment. Again majority of them perceived SDG 7 would be implemented through use of clean energy devices. However, it’s only the minority that thought SDG 13 would be implemented through conservation of the environment. Majority of respondents were of the views that increased awareness, improved institutional capacity, enhanced enforcement, and individual aptness would enhance implementation of the SDGs through adoption of green concept in environmental management.
Effectiveness of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): Bangladesh PerspectiveShahadat Hossain Shakil
EIA as an environment management tool has been successful in terms of global awareness rising over the last four decades. Due to its rationalist approach it has been criticised about the inherent aim of influencing development decision and protecting the environment. Numerous researches have been performed to measure the ‘effectiveness of EIA’ which is still evolving as a domain. Four major criteria’s have been established till date. Effectiveness of Bangladesh EIA system has been explored with the help of those criteria’s. Procedural ineffectiveness seeks government measure in a couple areas mainly through institutional arrangement and capacity building. Substantive ineffectiveness reflects the global trend of failure to influence the development decision truly. Transactive effectiveness will be far reaching for a country like Bangladesh, depended on foreign aid largely. Normative effectiveness is still little known, but mass awareness about the environment through the debate regarding an ES report is a recent experience.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a remarkable growth of interest in environmental issues,
sustainability and the better management of development in harmony with the environment.
Associated with this growth of interest has been the introduction of new legislation, emanating
from national and international agencies (e.g. the European Commission) that seek to influence
the relationship between development and environment. Environmental impact assessment (EIA)
is an important example. EIA means identify, predict and evaluate the environmental effects of
proposed actions. EIA is a tool of decision-making development. The three core value of EIA
study that has been identifying till date is integrity, utility and sustainability. EIA is a tool for
measuring environmental impacts of a upcoming projects or activity covering physical and social
factors and providing measure to minimize their impacts. In real sense it is a tool to evaluate the
impact of business activity, profitable planning or action leading to bio-geophysical environment
and on the health and well being of human beings and interpreting and making public aware
about the same. That is to say, EIA focuses on various complications, hardships faced by
environment in terms of curtailment of natural resources or human health proned to the
upcoming project. It also examines implications of a project that might harm people, their
homeland or their livelihood or other nearby developments. After predicting the problems, an
2. Volume: 2; Issue: 6; June-2016. ISSN: 2454-5422

EIA identifies measures to minimize the problems and presents with the optimum guidelines to
establish the project in the proposed environment synchronizing with the minimum impacts. In
the last three decades, EIA has been recognized as the important tool to decide and minimum the
feasibility of the project at the particular site. EIA has more wide scope in comparison of other
technique. EIA has the potential to be a basis for negotiation among the developers, public
interest groups and planning regulators.
Keywords: Environmental issues, international agencies, environmental impact assessment,
public aware, planning regulators etc.
Introduction
Environmental impact Assessments often deal with major projects, with many wide ranging and
often controversial impacts. They can also involve many participants with very different
perspectives on the relative merits and impacts of projects. It is important that the EIA is well
managed and essentially, the EIA process is a management intensive process (Glasson et al.,
1994). Some EIA procedures include an initial EIA study to check on the likely environmental
impacts and their significance. An initial study, which is usually a ‘maybe’ or ‘no’ must
substantiate the declaration. If the responses are primarily ‘no’, most of the ‘yes’ and ‘maybe’
can be mitigated, then the project may be screened out from a full EIA (Glasson et al., 1994).
A good practice is to bring them together in a working group and or meetings with the developer.
Other key issues could include particularly valued environmental attributes, those impacts
perceived to be of particular concern to the affected parties and social, economic, political and
environmental issues related to the specific locality. Reference should be made to relevant
structure plans, local plans, subject plans and government policies and guidelines. The end result
of this process of information collection and negotiation should be the identification of key
issues and impacts, an explanation of why other issues are not considered significant and for
each key impact, a defined temporal and spatial boundary within which the impact will be
measured (Glasson et al., 1994).
EIA are indirectly, public relation exercise and can be seen as publicity documents for
developers. Good presentation can convey a concern for the environment, a rigorous approach to
the impact analysis and a positive attitude to the public. Bad presentation, in turn, suggests a lack
3. Volume: 2; Issue: 6; June-2016. ISSN: 2454-5422
Anoop Singh Gaharwal et al 2016 740
of care and perhaps a lack of financial backing. Similarly, good presentation can help to convey
information clearly, whereas bad presentation can negatively affect even a well organized EIS
(Glasson et al., 1994).
The issues in EIA monitoring and auditing appear to shift from purely technical and scientific to
management aspects. Key issues in EIA monitoring and auditing thus are the accuracy of impact
prediction and the quality of the EIS. EISs are generally expected to contain testable hypothesis
and monitoring and auditing focused on compliance. Of late, however, the focus is on project
implementation, mitigation, activity management and communication. Nevertheless, EIA
monitoring and auditing are less developed than the pre-decision elements of the EIA process.
This does not mean that there is no post decision monitoring and evaluation in many
jurisdictions, as compliance monitoring and enforcement of permits are elements of the
environment permit system (Glasson et al., 1994).
Barrett and Therivel (1991) have suggested that an ideal EIA applies to all projects that have
direct and indirect impacts on environment and gives optimum solution to the proposed project
to reduce its impacts if possible, which led to decision making. Thompson (1990) evaluated 24
EIA methodologies (such as matrices and various types of checklists) in terms of how they
addressed impact significance determination. Wide variations were noted, with none of the
methodologies providing a comprehensive framework, along with instructions, for determining
the significance of anticipated impacts.
Moore (1992) suggested that several factors have contributed to the decline in the number of
EISs prepared annually(1) better scoping, (2) better project planning to reduce negative impacts
and avoid the need for EISs,(3) use of mitigated measures and(4) less litigation. Environmental
impact studies are often conducted by interdisciplinary teams. This is utmost important that
interdisciplinary and not multidisciplinary activities dominate the whole
process.”Multidisciplinary activities” denote those in which person experts in various disciplines
work with each other specific, pre-established interrelationships. The team member's findings are
typically presented as individual topical reports.”Interdisciplinary activities” are characterized by
interrelationships and the sharing and integration of the finding of the team member (Van
Dusseldorp and Van Staveren, 1983).
4. Volume: 2; Issue: 6; June-2016. ISSN: 2454-5422

Interdisciplinary team’ can be denoted as a group of two or more persons well trained in different
area of knowledge with many methods, data, terms and concept in which has been systematize to
address a common problem with continuous communication among participants from different
area (Dorney and Dorney 1989).
An interdisciplinary specific team for a specified impact study can be identified as a temporary
entity which has been assembled and possibly specially appointed, for gathering the specific
purpose of conducting an EIS for a proposed project (Cleland and Kerzner, 1986). The roles of
all team members, consultants and advisors need to be clearly defined (World Bank, 1991;
Burack, 1992).
(1) A team leader or project manager is one who plans, researches or use his engineering skills in
preparing several similar studies. (2) An biologist or ecologist (3) A anthropologist-sociologist-
(4) A geologist-hydrologist-soils scientist or geographer, (5) An urban or a regional planner.
An interdisciplinary team member's number can change from as few as two to perhaps as many
as eight or ten individuals, specifically upon the severeity and variety of the study. (Canter,
1991).
The conference on the Human Environment at held at United Nations, Stockholm, Sweden in
June 1972 was the first comprehensive international attempt to articulate the interrelationship
between the quality of environment, growing world population and the world economic growth
needed to sustain it. Man has made every effort to make his environment much more hospitable
in the past. In the recent few decades, however he had made it more hostile.
Guha (2000) published paper on environmental movement in the US which reflect in the forest
and wild areas. In the mid of the last decade, EIA had become a necessary requirement in more
than 100 countries (Canter 1996).
The turning point of the history of mankind is the decade of 1960 which ushered contemporary
human civilization and culture into an entirely new type of perception of man with his
surroundings. This perception pioneered the fitness of global resources system the “Parasitic”
nature of the contemporary human civilization and the deep rooted conflict between what man
wants to achieve by chasing the utopia of never conflict economic development and what can
5. Volume: 2; Issue: 6; June-2016. ISSN: 2454-5422
Anoop Singh Gaharwal et al 2016 742
really be achieved without all-round devastation. Actually 1960’s decade was the age of volcanic
up start of environmental awareness. The decade of 1970 silently went beyond these concepts
and pleaded for an action instead of a reaction and for the replacement of despair and anger with
responsibility and hope (Rathore, 1988). The Modern Industrial Era has bought with it a marked
increase in the consumption of all type of natural resources.
EIA (Environment Impact Assessment) emerged out of the growing appreciation of what man
should actually do instead of lamenting over the state of environment. In 1969, transition to a
decade of responsibility and action took place and with it grew the realization that the conflict of
the economic development with the ecological balance should be resolved objectively. The field
of EIA was first explored in USA resulting in the USA's National Environmental Policy
formation which focused on green harmony between man and environment, promoted efforts to
save environment to make earth better for life of all living and enriching the understanding of
ecological systems and of all non renewable resources belonging to the nation, to establish a
council on environmental quality management. Since the implementation of NEPA in the USA,
EIA has gained wild acceptance through out the world as an important tool in decision making as
regards to the implementation of developmental projects (Rathore, 1988).
Environment is term representing complex interlink between atmosphere, hydrosphere,
lithosphere and biosphere. It as always in a state of perpetual change. However in early 1960 it
was realized the rapid development spreads of agriculture, industrialization, urbanization and
mordernisation and over utilization of resources is a serious threat to environment. Growth in
finance rapid develops in parts betterment in life but in long sum, environment is badly affected
due to this development. Hence, Develop should also include word "Environment" A
stabilization of environment should be prime concern with the increasing development. U.S.
Army Corps of engineers were the one who first brought the idea of assessing the possible
impacts of a develop or proposed project on environment. They developed methodologies
procedure for assessing environment impacts. However introduction to existing term of CIA was
made in 1969 in V/s National environment policy Act 1969. Understanding pros & Corns new
EIA became necessary tool adopted by both developing and develop countries across the world
since 1970. EIA is now a globally discussed system, becoming burning theme of conventions,
summits & protocol organized world wide. EIA as a compulsory study before any upcoming

project to acquire sustainability. In 1980 EIA included in national policies but plasticized only
after 1992 earth summit.
EIA in India is a globally practiced system, configured as 4 step process such as screening,
scoping, defining ToR followed by collection of baseline information covering entire aspects of
environment. Impacts are predicted on the basis of activities to be covered by the upcoming
project. Knowing the impacts, Environmental impact management plan called EMP mentioning
various mitigation measures is developed & is a part of EIA report. In EMP, details of each
mitigation measures is accounted describing, Schedule of monitoring, time span, person or
department responsible & most important cost consideration.
EIA in simple term defined as predicted results of a planned r proposed action, project or
activity. It is a process of acknowledging and assessing the alteration in physical, ecological and
socio-economic condition of the environment before during and after a develop project, prepare
plan or future activity on the basis of comparison, suggesting, mitigative measure to make the
effect of undersirable changes negligible.
The idea of specific assessment on the possible total impact on the environment before starting a
development programme such as land clearance for agriculture, establishment of industries,
construction of dams, or other uses is an old one. United States Army Corps of Engineers (1980)
had developed methodology and techniques for impact assessment in the year 1870. However
environmental impact assessment in the present form was introduced by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (1986) under ‘action forcing provisions’ U.S. National Environment Policy
Act of 1969.
EIA is a tool to harmonise developments with environment. EIA set the spark of environment
concerns in the society, at very initial stage right at the time of planning to set the activity.
(Canter, 1977, 1996; Holling, 1978; Rosenberg, et.al., 1981; Beanland and Duniker, 1983;
Larkin, 1984).
In a simple definition Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is the process of doing predictive
studies of the proposed developmental activities and analyzing and evaluating the outcome of the
development (Lash, et al., 1974), thus scientifically based EIA’s are composed of two distinct
parts, (a) a predictive part which is undertaken to predict the effect of expected impacts before
7. Volume: 2; Issue: 6; June-2016. ISSN: 2454-5422
Anoop Singh Gaharwal et al 2016 744
development occurs and (b) a monitoring and assessment phase which aims to measures and
interpret environmental effects during preparation, construction and after the development has
been completed i.e. during operation phase (Rosenberg and Resh 1981).
The concept of the environment, mother earth & nature, as a whole is of great significance and
kept at gods place in India. Earlier the nature was work shipped in day to day activity.
Modernization leading to massive increase in urbanization is root cause of environment pollution
and degradation (Chopra, et.al., 1993) whereas Wood, (1995) developed management plan
strategies.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is the regular assessment and evaluation of the positive
impacts of the proposed projects, plans, programmes or legislative actions relate to the physical-
chemical, biological, cultural and socio-economic components of the environment as suggested
by Canter (1996). Environmental impact assessment is the process in which environmental
factors are integrated into decision making and project planning to achieve ecologically
sustainable development. Best practice in EIA identifies environmental risks, lessens conflicts by
minimizes adverse environmental effects, promoting community participation, informs decision
makers and helped lay the main base for environmentally specific projects. Advantage of
integrating EIA have been noted in all stages of a project, from planning and exploration through
various construction, operations, decommissioning and beyond site closure and other activites.
The process of EIA includes all environmental factors from initial stage of project planning and
decision making to acquire sustainability. EIA, Settles the base for environment sound projects
as it identifies risks and other disasters before beginning of project and giving, marking best
mitigation measures. EIA benefits are observed in all stage starting from initial phase to the site
closure. Jain, et al., (1977) defined Environment Impact Assessment.
Heer and Hagerty, 1977 defined Environment Impact in more complex algae and UN Agenda 21
(UNEP, 1992), devoted to integrating environment and development in policy, providing an
effective legal and regulatory framework, planning and decision-making tool which is mandatory
as per legal requirements and output of which results into an effective system for integrated
environmental and economic measures.

Specialty of an Environmental impact assessment (EIA):
• Identifies the sources of impacts from the project activities and recognizes the
environmental components which are critical to the changes or the impacts;
• Predicts the likely environmental impacts on the identified environmental component
either using quantitative, qualitative, semi quantitative or hybrid methods.
• Find ways to reduce unacceptable impacts and enhance the positive contributions of the
project by recommending mitigation measures or by exploring a change in the capacity,
technology or design or even by evaluating alternative sites.
• Presents to decision makers and other concerned agencies the results of impact
identification, prediction & assessment with options of suggested measures of mitigation &
monitoring.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in India:
• In India, the foundation of environmental impact assessment was started in long ago in
1976-77, when the upcoming river valley projects were became the priority to get examined
from environment point of view planning commission was handled this response. Then slowly it
was implemental to all projects requiring approval of public investment board. However earlier
administration ruled over this and support of legislation was missing. Later GoI came with EPA,
act on 23rd
May 1986. As one of important objective, EIA was made statutory requirement.
Further, MoeFF, under EPA Act, 1986. formed and EIA notification, through which concept of
environment clearance became mandatory for expansion or modernization for expansion or
modernization of any specific activity or for setting up new projects listed in Schedule 1 of the
notification and till new there have been 12 amendments in the EIA notification of 1994.
• In 2006, MoEF bought major amendment in EIA notification. It came with a broad list of
many projects for which Environment Clearance is very necessary. Although this notification,
clearly aqua power to state Gov. to grant EC depending ensize/capacity of the project.
• A fixed time schedule is depicted in this notification for entire process of getting
Environment Clearance. The formal EIA notification was declared on Jan., 27th
,1994. One of the
9. Volume: 2; Issue: 6; June-2016. ISSN: 2454-5422
Anoop Singh Gaharwal et al 2016 746
major specific amendments was made in 1997 with the specific introduction of the public
hearing procedure.
• Mitigation plan are to be generated for the selected areas and is supplemented with an
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to specific guide the developer towards specific
environmental improvements (Sworup, 2002).
• EIA Notification MoE&F, 1994 reported two types of EIA report in India; Rapid EIA
based on the time scale of the data supplied and Comprehensive EIA (MoE&F, 1994).
• A comprehensive Environment Impact Assessment report normally gets completed in 1
year at least as it covers data of 4 seasons. It can be submitted later as demanded. The need of
EIA can be dispensed by the IAA, depending on the impacts of environment caused by projects,
in case negligible & insignificant can dispense the need of EIA; and so project development is
required to give complete justification for such exemption. (MoE&F, 1994).
• Once submitted process of appraisal starts by expert committee. This appraisal committee
consists of 15 members; all members being expert in multi-disciplinary subject. The independent
experts committee. This appraisal committee consists of 15 members, all members being expert
in multi-disciplinary subjects. The independent experts chair the appraisal committee. Meetings
are organized several times before the final approval.
Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 2006
India, as already reported is on the expressway for development. Rapid industrial growth and an
upsurge in the number of implemented projects all over the country area is often accompanied
with the entire environmental and social burdens, particularly borne by peoples living in the
neighbor of project area. It is noted that man, from the topman of the area to a local man in some
remote area of the country is desire in the Environmental Clearance (EC) system, since everyone
is directly and indirectly come in periphery by it. With this at the backdrop, the Planning
Commission’s Approach rule on the 11th Five-Year Plan had clearly stated that ‘the country’s
environmental clearance rules and regulation are start to resemble the old clearance permit raj
and quite in need of urgent reform’. The concern expressed by this body formulating men
reflected the governmental concerness towards such a critical objective in the last a few years.
10. Volume: 2; Issue: 6; June-2016. ISSN: 2454-5422
Anoop Singh Gaharwal et al 2016 747
The new rules has came in light brought in more number of programmes within the
environmental clearance process. As a result, selected list of those projects and subsequently, has
been started which needs prior environmental clearance. Most urgently, the categorisation of
various such programmes & projects requiring EIA is now no longer based on expenditure.
Instead, the size or capacity of the project, according to the modern notification, determines
whether it is to be clarified by the state or central government.
The notification was largely requires to be cumbersome and time consuming. To search such
ides in the 1994 EIA Notification, MoEF conducted a large review of the entire process laid
down in the said notification, under the Environmental Management Capacity Building Project
in 2001. This study by the MoEF requires published the need for immediate reforms. Then
Committee was also set up by then Cabinet Secretariat, with Shri V. Govindarajan as convener,
to examine extant procedures for expenditure approvals and implementation of such required
project to add measures to simplify and expedite the process of both all type of required projects.
The committee pointed that the Environment Clearance taken the longest time and causes
maximum delay for projects.
Change in the EIA Notification, 1994
Primarily it was thought to completely change the EIA Notification of 1994, the latter was
change twelve times in eleven years of time. Most of the change were blamed to have diluted the
process of environmental clearance, only a few, which also given strength to this process. The
focus of the modern Notification has been to minimise the time required for the whole
environment clearance process. The foremost process took lesser months for Rapid EIA and 21
to 28 months for Comprehensive EIA. As per the new notification, the Category A projects must
be completed in 10.5 to 12 months. This seems to be no justification for this other than the
explanation that EC processes require to be rapid in order to assess rapid development. This may
result in compromising on the efficiency and transparency of the whole environmental clearance
process.
Fate Future of EIA in India
India has one of the best legal provisions and also cultural and ethical environmental
conservation values both of which will play a major role in further given momentum to the EIA
11. Volume: 2; Issue: 6; June-2016. ISSN: 2454-5422
Anoop Singh Gaharwal et al 2016 748
process in India. All India's developmental policies are adopting on the sustainable development
concept. This is now being realized that specific development is no doubt important but not at
such a cost that it begins to harm more than it benefits. The new EIA notification, 2006 and the
amendments to follow are important steps that have been taken to launch only sustainable and
carefully planned projects in the country. The new notification has few drawbacks which are and
will be published by bringing important amendments from time to time. India is on a path which
is required to complement as well as supplement the economic growth of the whole country. The
development projects will keep coming up from time to time and EIA serves as an almost very
perfect tool assess those projects, mitigate the environmental impact conclude all other
environmental concerns. However there is a greater need to shift from projects to policies in
order to assess the environmental issues very early in the whole development process.
Conservation, management protection and preservation of the environment have been the basic
stone of the Indian ethos, culture and traditions. These values are included in our constitution as
well as which is one of the first in the whole world to recognize the necessary of environmental
conservation. The Indian Constitution enjoins the "State to take measures to prevent & protect,
improve the environment and to safeguard the forest and wildlife of the country". It also makes it
is "fundamental duty of every person to protect and conserve the natural environment including
forests, lakes, rivers wildlife and to have ecological balance for the living beings" (Introduction
to EIA Notification, 1994).
India's rich in cultural diversity has almost the similar tendency that of its biodiversity. The fact
that the poorest of Indians live in remote area that are rich in terms of environmental resources,
biodiversity and mineral wealth emphasize the importance of a proper EIA, in the event that new
projects are taken at any of these very rich parts of the country. This is because of the direct
affect of such projects will evidently be fall on these poor people and any development at this
cost will eventually be unsustainable. The some characteristic that should be inherent to not just
EIA but any impact assessment protocol in India.
Interdisciplinary Team Formation
An “interdisciplinary team” can be defined as a group of two or more persons trained in different
fields of knowledge with different concepts, methods and data and terms which has been
organized to address a common problem with continuous communication among participants
12. Volume: 2; Issue: 6; June-2016. ISSN: 2454-5422
Anoop Singh Gaharwal et al 2016 749
from different disciplines (Dorney and Dorney, 1989). Simply put an interdisciplinary team
consists of a group of people, trained in different fields, who interact to produce a coordinated
EIA report. This approach can be contrasted with a team made up of experts, who pursue their
lines of inquiry relatively separately and do not have a common understanding of the impact of
the proposal. This is the “multidisciplinary approach” in which persons versed in different
disciplines work together without specific, pre-established inter-relationships. When this is the
case, the EIA Project Manager has the primary task of drawing together the findings. Often, the
lack of an interdisciplinary approach results in an EIA report that does not have any real
synthesis and contains a number of specialist studies with little cross referencing. Thus, it is
important that interdisciplinary and not multidisciplinary activities dominate the process of
Impact Assessment. “Inter-disciplinary activities” are characterized by inter-relationships and the
sharing and integration of the findings of the team members (Van Dusseldorp and Van Staveren,
1983; Cleland and Kerzner, 1986).
A member of a successful interdisciplinary EIA team is supposed to have:
• Interpersonal skills
• Creativity
• Adaptability
• Good oral and written communication skills
• Organizational capability
• The ability to listen and to assimilate information
• A sense of humour and Patience
• The number of members of an interdisciplinary team can vary from as few as two to as
many as 8 or 10 individuals, depending upon the size and complexity of the study. (World Bank,
1991).

Conclusion and Objective
The basic objective of EIA is to identify and evaluate the potential impacts (both beneficial and
adverse) of development projects on the environmental system (including social system). This
helps in selecting environmentally compatible sites and planning environmental safeguards. The
objective of EIA is to ensure that development is sustained with minimal environmental
degradation. Environment Impact Assessment has to be made at initial stage while planning a
project.
14. Volume: 2; Issue: 6; June-2016. ISSN: 2454-5422
Anoop Singh Gaharwal et al 2016 751
The Environmental Impact Assessment should have the following objectives :-
• To ensure all environmental considerations are well addressed and incorporated into the
decision-making process;
• Incorporation of mitigative measures to minimize those adverse impacts considering all
factors & keeping all point of view.
• Protection of structural & functional components of ecosystems.
• Leading to sustainable develop & resource optimization.
Predict environmental impact of projects
i. Suggesting ways & measures to reduce impacts.
ii. Shape project to suit local environment
iii. Show cart the predictive impacts & its mitigative measures to decision makers.
In order to ascertain the impact of various developmental projects both on the society as well as
on land, water, air, flora and fauna etc the developmental projects are required to prepare an
environmental impact statement (EIS) covering the following:
• Effects on land including land degradation and subsistence,
• Deforestation and compensatory a forestation
• Air and water pollution including ground water pollution
• Noise pollution and vibration
• Flora and fauna and loss of biological diversity
• Socio-economic impact including human displacement, cultural loss and health aspects
• Risk analysis and disaster management
• Recycling and the reduction of waste
• Efficient use of inputs.
The EIA presents the important findings in terms of impact identification, prediction and
mitigation plans and measures to the decision makers and other stake holders.
Despite differences in individual EIA systems throughout the world, the EIA process shares
certain common aims:
15. Volume: 2; Issue: 6; June-2016. ISSN: 2454-5422
Anoop Singh Gaharwal et al 2016 752
• To provide decision makers with analysis of the total environment so that decisions can
be made based on as nearly complete and balanced information as possible,
• To assess and present intangible/unquantifiable effects that are not adequately addressed
by cost/benefit analysis and other technical reports,
• To provide information to the public on a proposal,
• To formalize the consideration of alternative to a proposal being considered, in order that
the least environmentally harmful means of achieving the given objective can be chosen,
• Improvement the design of latest developments and safety measures for the environment
through the application of avoidance measures and mitigation.
Environmental Impact Assessment Process in planning promotes sustainable development. Its
fundamental goal is therefore to: maximize environmental benefits, and minimize or eradicate
impacts, during the construction, operation and decommissioning phases of development.
(UNEP 2002)
Discussion
• “EIA is the set of procedures which permit an understanding of the likely consequences
of man’s economic growth activities on the environment” (Fisher, 1974).
• EIA is attempting to evaluate the penalty of a proposed action on each of the descriptions
in the environmental inventory (Canter, 1977).
• EIA consists in establishing quantitative values for selected parameters which indicate
the quality of the environment before, during and after the action (Heer & Hagerty, 1977).
• EIA as the study of probable changes in the various socio-economic and bio-physical
characteristics of the environment which may result from a proposed impacting action (Jain,
et.al., 1977).
• EIA is an assessment of all relevant environmental and resulting socio-economic effects
which would result from a project (Battelle, 1997).
• EIA as the “administrative process by which the environmental impacts of a project is
determined” (Fuggle, 1979).
16. Volume: 2; Issue: 6; June-2016. ISSN: 2454-5422
Anoop Singh Gaharwal et al 2016 753
• “EIA is a way to identify and predict the impact of legislative proposals, policies,
programmes, projects and operational procedures on the environment and on man’s health and
well being” (Munn, 1979).
• EIA is a process to identify, predict to benefits and penalties of a proposed development.
To be useful, the assessment needs to be communicated in terms understandable to the decision-
makers and community to the benefits and penalties should be identified on the basis of criteria
relevant to the areas affected (UNEP, 1980).
• EIA as a process or set of activities designated to contribute pertinent environmental
intervention to protect decision making (Beanland and Duniker, 1983).
• EIA is the systematic examination of environmental penalty of projects, policies, plans
and programmes. Its main aim is to provide decision-makers with an account of implications of
alternative course of action before a decision is made (Clark, 1984).
• EIA is a formal study process used to predict the environmental penalty of the proposed
developmental project, find ways to reduce un acceptable impacts and shape the project so that it
suits the local environment and present these predictions and options to decision-makers (UNEP,
1988).
• “The term environmental assessment describes a technique and a action by which specific
about the environmental impact of a project is specially, both by the developer and from specific
other sources, and taken into specific account by the planning authority in forming their
judgments on whether the development should go ahead” (Department of Environment,
Londan, 1989).
• “EIA is the reproducible ,systematic and interdisciplinary evaluation of the potential
effects of a proposed action and its practical alternatives on the physical, biological, cultural and
socio-economic attributes of a particular geographical area”
• The United Nation Environment Programme (UNEP) in 2002, set certain goals and
principles of EIA as an important tool for declaring & assessing potential environment impacts
which are likely to be caused due to proposed project in future EIA get emphasis via Rio
Declaration is needed to be done for upcoming activities that are likely to have a beneficial and
adverse impact on the environment.
