Environmental debates were first introduced into the national political agenda during Indira Gandhi’s first term as Prime Minister of India. The 4th Five-Year Plan (1969\u201374), for example, proclaimed “harmonious development […] on the basis of a comprehensive appraisal of environmental issues.”<\/p>\n

In 1977 (during the Emergency) Gandhi added Article 48A to the constitution stating that: “The State shall endeavour to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wildlife of the country.”<\/p>\n

The same decree transferred wildlife and forests from state list to concurrent list of the constitution, thus giving the central government the power to overrule state decisions on that matter.<\/p>\n

Such political and constitutional changes prepared the groundwork for the creation of a federal Department of Environment in 1980, turned into the Ministry of Environment and Forests in 1985. Although tackling climate change was already a responsibility of the ministry, its priority was raised when in May 2014 the ministry was renamed to the current title of Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.<\/p>\n

The forest administration is based on the demarcation of states into Forest Divisions, which consist of Forest Ranges. Forest Beats under Ranges are the smallest unit of the administration hierarchy. Natural features on the field form the boundaries of each beat, which has an average area of around 16 km square.<\/p>\n
