Environmental pollution is a potential danger to human life. The developing countries in the world are exploiting natural resources recklessly in order to satisfy the need of their citizens and thus the’ so-called need with greed’ constitute the major cause of the degradation of the environment. Though, steps are being taken to maintain the equilibrium between the development and preservation of the environment but they are still lagging behind. The State, therefore, being the owner of the natural resources of the nation is duty bound to evolve various effective measures and means so that the air, water, and natural resources are made available to the present and the next generation both in their natural form. Sustainable development, indeed, seeks to harmonize the conflict between development and environment.
