Review:
The title of the paper under review is “EIA practice in India and its evaluation using
SWOT analysis” and was written by RituPaliwalfrom Centre for Regulatory and Policy
Research, TERI School of Advanced Studies, Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road, Delhi-110003,
Indiain March 2006.
A SWOT analysis taken up in this article has suggested that there are several issues
that need to be readdressed for EIA in India. It highlights several constraints,
ranging from improper screening and scoping guidelines to ineffective monitoring
and post project evaluation.
The SWOT is based on authors' own experiences duringfield visits, professional's views
(i.e., government officials, consultants and managers) revealedduring informal talks, and
semi structured interviews and available literature on the subject.
