India must balance environment and development needs: president


    NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India must find ways to balance its environmental and developmental needs, President Pratibha Patil told parliament in a prepared address on Monday.

    "My government has constituted a group of ministers to look into all issues relating to the reconciliation of environmental concerns arising out of different kinds of developmental activities, without in any way diluting our pursuit of ecologically sustainable growth paths," she said.
