  ABSTRACT: Gender discrimination is already one of the major factors why India is still on the list of the 3rd World Countries, but when it comes to gender inclusion in the environmental arena, this umbrella concept is relatively unheard of by our countrymen. The main objective was to assess gender equality for the environment through calculating Environment and Gender Index on a country level, India, in this case. 22 states out of 29 were considered for calculation. Linear Regression is executed through SPSS, and simple graphs and tables are prepared through MS-EXCEL for analysis. India portrays good governance, reporting activities well to the UN, but the performance is comparatively weak in terms of basic livelihood and gender equality.
