Country’s environmental problems vary with its stage of development, structure of its economy, production technologies in use and its environmental policies. Between 1995 through 2010, India has made some of the fastest progress in addressing its environmental issues and improving its environmental quality in the world. India has a long way to go to reach environmental quality similar to those enjoyed in developed economies. Pollution remains a major challenge and opportunity for India. Environmental issues are one of the primary causes of disease, health issues and long term livelihood impact for India. Air pollution in India is a serious issue with the major sources being fuel wood and biomass burning, fuel adulteration, vehicle emission and traffic congestion. India is the world's largest consumer of fuel wood, agricultural waste and biomass for energy purposes. Water pollution out of India's 3,119 towns and cities, just 209 have partial treatment facilities, and only 8 have full wastewater treatment facilities 114 cities dump untreated sewage and partially cremated bodies directly into the Ganges River. India is yet to adopt a stringent strategy to tackle rising emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). India was the third largest emitter of carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, in 2009 at 1.65 Gt per year, after China and the United States. Educate and inform the people about the gains of environmental protection and sustainable development. People are aware of the need to protect the natural environmental resources of air, water, soil and plant life that constitute the natural capital on which man depends.
