Abstract: Environmental issues have become a common feature in contemporary society. Concern for the environment and understanding the importance of the environment for the existence of mankind is not a new phenomenon, although we recognize the Stockholm Conference held in 1972 as the torch bearer of environmental protection activities. Evidence of this awareness of the environment can also be seen in ancient and medieval India. The British started destroying India's environment for their economic benefits. In modern times man is separated from nature, development of science and development of industry and greed of man is the main reason for this. People are destroying their natural environment in the name of development. India is also not free from such problems. India has adopted important environmental policies to address the complex challenges posed by rapid industrialization, urbanization and population growth. This paper discusses some important environmental policies in India and to find the challenges and solutions of implementation of environmental policy in India.
