The disaster events whether natural or man-made occurred in India, highlights the need of protection of environment, rights of the victims and duty of the state to provide safe environment. The Constitution of India under Article 21 provides for ‘quality of life’, similarly, Article 47 states ‘standard of living’, thereby provisions relating to disasters involves fundamental rights, human rights as well as under social rights mentioned under directive principles of state policy. No doubt, disaster victims are the most susceptible groups whose fundamental human rights should be fully protected. The government is required to secure citizens’ right to live with dignity, right to protection of life and adequate standard of living, for this purpose disaster management is desirable. When in case of crimes, society can be given an upper hand over individual rights then right to public health should also be given due importance. Industralised countries, newly industralised countries and the developing world are facing massive amount of ecological problems e.g. climate change, global warming etc. In India deforestation, land degradation and pollution of water and air are the central features of environmental crises. Thus, protection of environment and management of disasters are international concern.
