| The People's
Commission on Environment and Development India, a non-governmental,
non-profit association, was launched in New Delhi in 1990. It holds
public hearings in the country to harvest the perspective on, and
the insight into, environmental and development issues from a wide
constituency of stakeholders and induct them into the government's
decision-making process. Its modality of public hearing represents a
novel way for the people to dialogue with government about the
critical survival issues, and provides an opportunity to the people
to forge partnerships for change and express their shared commitment
to a new paradigm of socially equitable and environmental
sustainable development. |
