When this instructor was a student neither Environmental nor Bio-Diversity laws were taught in law schools, even as an optional, but then a lot of water had flown under the bridge after Stockholm Declaration and Rio de Janeiro Bio-Diversity conventions and its Optional Protocol. This course will chronicle the developments of the Last 40 years.
This course is specially meant for students taking UGC NET (Law) Civil services and Judges Recruitment examination. This course is also important for those involved in technology and agriculture-related laws. In this Course along with 420 mins of video presented in 11 sessions of roughly 45 mins each, there are two focused PowerPoints on Stockholm Declaration and Indian developments.
