‘Good governance’ was the cornerstone of the National Democratic Alliance government’s poll promises. While there is an effort to deliver this in many sectors, the functioning of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change is at odds with its mandate. _____________________________________. Since 2011, it has consistently ignored the Supreme Court’s direction on the appointment of a national regulator for enforcing environmental conditions and to impose penalties.
It unambiguously mandates that there shall be no destruction or diversion of habitat unless it is for the improvement and better management of wildlife.
While it has been periodically expressing its commitment to forest conservation, the reality is, the Ministry has been bending over backwards to meet the demands of ‘development’, compromising India’s ecological security.
Another worrisome indicator on unbridled clearances is the strategy of diluting regulations through a slew of guidelines.
The most crucial governance challenge for the Ministry is how to balance development imperatives without compromising on ecological security.
An objective analysis reveals that the MoEF has turned into a virtual project-clearing house.
Correct Answer is (b).Option A would have been a good choice, had the following sentence started with ‘However’ which is not the case. This eliminates option A. The first sentence of the paragraph has the compound noun ‘poll promises’ and the second sentence expresses the ministry’s negligence towards the environmental conditions, as it is implied. Clearly, option B that presents a contradiction between the commitment made by the ministry and the reality, fits the blank most appropriately. The following sentence also supports the chain of thoughts in the paragraph. Clearly, option B is the correct answer.
