On account of its distinctive features, villages in India can be considered as an ecosystem. The village ecosystem depends for its functioning on the major bio-productive systems such as agricultural lands, grasslands, forest and wetland, which together form important physical resource base.

Most Indian companies have not yet started giving the required emphasis on the environmental front, partly because of inadequate enforcement laws in the country and partly because political and industrial leaders have not given enough attention to environmental management.

In India we follow unique waste disposal methods, for instance, at Badshahpur, Haryana, the waste is carefully placed on the wide road divider as if to exhibit with pride “we are no less than any one on this front.” One is greeted by waste dumps on either side of State and National Highways be it Gurudaspur in Punjab or Moradabad and Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, or any other city or town in different states in the country for that matter. It will not be so in future, but we are still in the planning stage. There are many grey areas to be taken care of and we have a long way to go.
