Soil Erosion — Environmental Laws

Entry	Year	Description	Impact
42nd Amendment Act	1976	This amendment introduced Article 48A (Protection and improvement of environment and safeguarding of forests and wild life) into the Directive Principles of State Policy and Article 51A(g) (Fundamental Duty to protect and improve the natural environment) into the Constitution. These articles provide the foundational constitutional mandate for environmental protection, including soil conservation.	Significantly strengthened the constitutional basis for environmental governance in India, placing a clear responsibility on both the State and its citizens to protect and improve the natural environment, thereby implicitly covering soil conservation as a critical component of environmental health.
