Title

Environmental Clearance Process: Creating Transparency In Tracking Using Project Management Software

Abstract

Almost all the countries in the world are committed for environmental friendly development these days. India is also not an exception and has introduced an EIA notification on 14th Sept. 2006 to keep a vigilant eye on all developmental activities throughout the country. Govt. of India, Ministry of Environment and Forest has reiterated its commitment towards sustainable development and made the prior environmental clearance mandatory for various development projects proposed across the country through this notification. Ministry has taken various steps in the form of decentralization of clearance process and provision of deemed clearance in this notification. All the projects have been divided in to A and B category depending on their threshold limits. B category projects to be cleared at state level by specially created regulatory authorities in the states, whereas A category projects to be cleared at Ministry level. A time frame specified for grant of TOR is 60 days while 105 days for EC from the date of submission of application by the proponent to the concerned regulatory authority respectively. A special provision of deemed clearance has been introduce to check the probable delay in the process of environmental clearance. The ministry of Environment, Forest and climate change, Govt. of India (MOEF & CC) updates the status of the clearance process of various projects on its website. It is learnt from the available date that proposed time frame for the various stages involved in the process of issue of TOR as well as EC are not adhere to. The delay in the process causes time and cost overrun of the project. This particular paper proposes to use the project management software as a tool to monitor the progress of grant of environmental clearance to a specific project. This tool will automatically display the expected time line for a stage to be achieved in issue of EC, the moment we enter the date of receipt of the application. This being on the public domain will put pressure on the regularity authority to stick to the time frame stipulated in the notification. This revolutionary process will facilitate the monitoring of the whole activity and will compel the authorities to adhere to the time frame, ultimately putting a check on the delay in the issue of environmental clearance (EC).The scope of this paper is limited to tracking of only EC activity for ‘A’ and ‘B’ category projects
