KERALA, sunny, lush and green, lies between the Lakshadweep Sea and the Western Ghat mountains in southern peninsular India. It is nourished by 44 rivers and a chain of backwaters. Its physiography and its culture are unique. The verdant forests, prestine rivulets and golden beaches are nature's priceless gifts to Kerala.The state, to a great extent, is still free from the scourges of industrialisation. The people of Kerala are highly consious of the need to protect the environment. Kerala is one of the 12 States of India whose legislatures passed resolutions requesting the Indian Parliament to make laws to prevent and control water pollution.The United Nations Conference of 1972 was a watershed in the history of environment protection. Indian Parliament enacted the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act on 23rd March, 1974. In 1976 India became the first country to make provisions for the protection of environment in its Constitution through the 42nd Amendment.The Kerala State Board for Prevention and Control of Water Pollution was constituted by the Government of Kerala on 12.09.1974 and thus became the first such State Board in India. The Board was renamed The Kerala State Pollution Control Board in 1984 on being entrusted with the implementation of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution ) Act, 1981. The Board is also implementing the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and various Rules and Notifications under the latter.The Board is working under the Department of Health & Family Welfare of the Government of Kerala.
