"Environmental Economics: An Indian Perspective" is an edited volume designed to bridge the gap in high-quality textbooks on environmental economics that are specifically tailored for an Indian academic context. The book is the work of Prof. Rabindra N. Bhattacharya (often spelled Rabindranath), a former professor at the Department of Economics, Kalyani University in West Bengal. Acknowledged as a pioneer in the field of environmental economics in India, he collaborated with six other practicing economists to create a resource that is both academically rigorous and deeply relevant to the Indian subcontinent. Published by Oxford University Press in 2001, with subsequent editions in 2002, 2019, and 2022, its relevance persists for students and educators today.
Published by Oxford University Press, Environmental Economics: An Indian Perspective adapts global economic theories to the unique socio-economic realities of a developing nation. Rather than looking at environmental degradation through a purely Western lens, the text addresses how poverty, population growth, and rapid industrialization intersect with resource management.
