Abstract

The earth's atmosphere is a common heritage. The environmental issues take in to account the human being, and not the State as a unit. It is a global issue. The Stockholm Declaration recognized that man is the part of nature and life depends on it. U.Thant, the Secretary General, United Nations, in Stockholm Conference appealed "Like or not we are travelling together on a common planet and we have no national alternative but to work together, to make an environment in which we and our children can live a full and peaceful life". The declaration in the United Nations Conference on human environment from 5th to 16th June, 1972 at Stockholm considered the need for a common outlook for common principles to inspire and guide the people of the world in the preservation and enhancement of human environment. The long and tortuous evolution of the human race was not possible without rapid acceleration of science and technology. The man has achieved the ability to transform his environment in countless ways and on an unprecedented scale. This power if used wisely can bring benefits of development and opportunity to enhance the quality of life. The wrong application on the other hand can do incalculable harm to human beings and human environment. Mining is a paramount economic pursuit having prospective of furnishing to the growth of areas bestowed with natural resources. Minerals extracted in mining process includes diamonds, bauxite, and coal, iron, metals, rock salt, lead, phosphate, tin, uranium, and molybdenum. Mining in broader sense can also encompass extraction of petroleum, and natural gas.
