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.
