If you were to propose an amendment to the Indian Constitution to address the issue of environmental protection, what change would you recommend?
I would recommend adding a specific Fundamental Right to a healthy and clean environment, making environmental protection a basic right for all citizens.
Key features of the amendment:
Oblige the government to prevent pollution, conserve natural resources, and take steps to reduce climate change impacts.
Provide clear legal remedies so that citizens can approach courts if environmental harm occurs.
Mandate regular environmental impact assessments and public consultation for major projects.
Such an amendment would make environmental protection a constitutional duty for both the government and citizens, and would help ensure long‑term ecological sustainability for future generations.
