The CPI-M led LDF government in Kerala today approved a 'white paper' on environment that lays emphasis on balanced economic and social development while preserving the state's bio-diversity.
The state cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, approved the document that outlined the state's approach towards protecting and preserving the environment while striving for economic growth.
"The main objective is to design an environment friendly economic system and government is committed to preserving clean water, soil, air and bio-diversity," an official release said.
Kerala has 44 rivers and most of them were facing various types of pollution, the release said.
Solid waste disposal was a severe problem in the state and government would go ahead with schemes under the 'Haritha Kerala mission.'
