ENVIRONMENTAL
ANALYSIS
PAST TO PRESENT
Rapid
Industrializa
tion since
Independenc
e
Govt. was
slow to react
towards
ecological
protection
Implementat
ion
hampered by
unstructural
response
from govt.
High density

risk
CHALLENGES FACED
CONTD…
• Population Density
– Densely populated
– Safeguarding natural resources is a difficult task
• Water shortages
