 Development
and environment are two sides of the same coin and it is recognized
that sustainable development is not possible without adequate
environmental protection measurers. Sardar Sarovar project
is the first major river valley project which is subjected
to exacting environmental conditions imposed by the Government
of India at the time of according clearance to this project.
This is also one of the first projects where environmental
impact assessment has been undertaken through agencies even
when the project was in planning phase.
The ministry of Environment and Forests had laid down certain
stringent conditions at the time of giving clearance to the
project in the year 1987. So as to comply with the conditions
of clearance, following programmes were undertaken.
