"Environment is omnipresent and involves every resource the humanity has. Need of the hour is to manage environment properly and judiciously. The consequences of mis-managing environment are far reaching and disastrous for the humanity. Environment is multi-dimensional and multi-faceted, therefore it is our collective responsibility to develop a holistic management framework. Against this backdrop, Pacific Institute of Management, Udaipur decided to organise an International Conference on the theme "Environment Management Practices in India: Issues, Imperatives and Implications" from 3 to 5 March, 2006 with financial support from AICTE, New Delhi. A large number of academicians, researchers and the industrial professionals have pooled their knowledge, wisdom and expertise on this important issue. The present publication is an edited version of the papers and articles contributed in the conference. The book has been divided in five sections. The contents of the book provide comprehensive coverage on various environmental issues. The book shall be immensely beneficial for policy makers, researchers and academicians. The editors firmly believe that if the discerning readers voraciously read, analyze and assimilate learning, preaching and recommendations contained in this book, their efforts shall be amply rewarded."
