“We Provide Environmental Solutions”“We Provide Environmental Solutions”

1 - Introduction Gujarat is known for its entrepreneurial spirit, festivals and vibrancy. Ever since Gujarat was

separated from Maharashtra in 1960, it has been growing at even a faster pace. The state has

become the hub of Chemical industries, which include Petrochemical, Fertilizer, Pesticide,

Petroleum refinery, Synthetic chemical etc.

Gujarat was always an important trading post from the times

immemorial, the fast paced globalization rise above

domestic competition with other states. Various companies

have set in Gujarat, which opened up the doors of

employment to many but also increased the pollution level at

a great extent, which ultimately led to their closure with the

directions from Hon'ble High Court. After a lot of

deliberation on the subject, the Government of Gujarat

decided to set up an Institute on the lines of NEERI, Nagpur.

The Gujarat Environment Management Institute (GEMI), is

an autonomous body registered under both Society

Registration Act 1860 as well as Bombay Public Trust Act

1950. It was thus set up with an objective of preserving and

protecting the environment of Gujarat. It was envisaged that

the Institute that would provide environmental solutions to

all concerned.

The Gujarat Environment Management Institute (GEMI) was constituted in accordance with the Govt.

Resolution No. ENV-1098-1280-P, dated 01-02-1999 issued by the Forest & Environment

Department, Government of Gujarat, with its Head Quarter at Vadodara. The GEMI was registered

under the Society of Registration Act, 1860 vide the Registration No. Gujarat/1380/Vadodara dated 01-

03-1999 as well as under the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950 vide the Public Trust Register no.

F/1065/Vadodara, dated 01-03-1999. The Institute shifted its headquarter to Gandhinagar on 1st

November 2011. The Institute has now developed a full-fledged laboratory which includes testing of

Air, Water, wastewater, microbiology and Soil. The laboratory has been recognized by Government of

Gujarat as “State Laboratory” under the Air Act 1981 and Water Act 1978. The Institute has been

handling many Governments and Private projects. The revamped Institute has been now contributing to

the environmental action based on awareness about the environment issues.

The Mission statement of

GEMI

To Promote Conservation, Protection, and Management of

the Total Environment of Gujarat through Scientific and

Technical Pursuits in order to maintain or restore the

pristine elements of such Environment.
