On Monday the Centre for , Science and Environment (CSE) and the National Knowledge Commission launched indiaenvironmentportal.org.in, a website that, for the first time, puts the entire environmental database of India--virtually every conceivable document, statistics, reports concerned with the "green health" of India.

"We have developed this so that it facilitates transactions of ideas and actions on environment. We will try to start the service in regional languages as well for maximum reach because an informed society is better equipped for environmental activism," said Pitroda at the launch.

The CSE is in talks with the Central Pollution Control Board to make the board's information available on the site, said CSE's Sunita Narain.

The site has 300, 000 articles on environmental issues from CSE's research team.
