Abstract
Solipsistic existence of Corporate Social Responsibility and the nescience of its inefficacy have led to an accentuation that the act requires amelioration so that our environment shall not look impuissant before the people who negate and jeopardise environment for perfidious ambitions. Vitriol by many non-governmental organizations and environment protection groups fructified into the birth of Corporate Environment Responsibility Act (CER). It made the perceptions clear that the archaic and truncated provisions of the act are not sufficient safeguards against perilous degradation of environment. By no means are CSR and CER antithetical to each other through CER the entire gamut of environment protection is attempted to be dulcified for more transparency and accountability. Environment impact assessment (EIA) was a definite shot in the arm. It has a provision to assess the likely impact on environment owing to the projects which are envisaged and yet to see the light of the day. An empowered team of assessors must be bereft of any politic0-social interference and needs to be an ideal and judicious mix of experts from different domains such as technical, environment, community, health and finance to name a few. An iota under all paraphernalia needs to bring under microscopic scrutiny before the projects are granted environment clearance (EC). This paper is a candour attempt to bring to the forth grey areas as it may be, and possible solutions to ponder upon for the benefit of environment and community. It ponders upon the possibility of putting on the anvil certain new ideas and proposal throughout the currency period of the act so as to make it more convincing and instrumental in arresting any diabolical design blatantly aimed at environment negation.
