The Department of Science, Technology and
Environment was started in 1993 after merging of
the erstwhile Science & Technology and
Environment cells functioning in the U.T.
Administration. The DSTE is the nodal agency for
planning, promotion, co-ordination and
overseeing the implementation of environmental
policies, technology and programmes. The
Department designs and implements policies and
programmes to preserve, conserve and protection
of Environment. The primary concerns of the
department are implementation of policies and
programmes relating to conservation of the
natural resources, biodiversity and environment,
and the prevention and abatement of pollution.
While implementing these policies and
programmes, the department is guiding for
sustainable development and enhancement of human
well-being.
