6.1 Environment and Human Health Cell (EHHC) will develop mechanism for Inter-Ministerial and Inter-Departmental coordination so as to have periodic interactions with the stakeholders such as line Ministries (e.g Health, Industry, Labour, Urban Affairs, Human Resources Development, Agriculture etc.), regulatory authorities (State Department of Environment/CPCB/SPCBs, State Health Departments), R&D Institutions, major hospitals, etc. including interaction with the international institutions for exchange of information on prevention and control of environmental related health effects. EHHC will coordinate with the CPCB/SPCBs/PCCs and the State Departments of Environment, who may have similar Environment and Human Health cells or earmark personnel, for implementing the programmes on environmental health. An interdisciplinary and inter-ministerial Committee including NGOs may be constituted by the MoEF to have periodic interactions with all the stakeholders.
