Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 and 3 only
(c) 1 and 3 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3 only
Explanation:
National Green Tribunal Act (NGT) was established in 2010, under India's constitutional provision of Article 21, which assures the citizens of India, the right to a healthy environment. The tribunal itself, is a special fast-track court to handle the expenditious disposal of the cases pertaining to environmental issues.
There lies many reasons behind the setting up of this tribunal. After India's move with Carbon credits, such tribunal may play a vital role in ensuring the control of emissions and maintaining the desired levels. This is the first body of its kind that is required by its parent statute to apply the "polluter pays" principle and the principle of sustainable development. One of the major scheme of Ministry of Tribal Affairs is to provide grants given to States/UTs, under the first proviso to article 275(1) of the Constitution to meet the costs of projects for tribal development and for raising the level of administration of Scheduled Area therein on par with the rest of the Stat/UT. Part of the funds are utilised for setting up of Residential Schools for providing quality education to tribal students. Hence option 2 is not correct.
Option 3 is also not correct as Gram Sabhas has nothing to do with National Green Tribunal Act.
