In 1984, ENVIS Centre 07 of the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, was established in WWF-India to handle environment-related information needs pertaining to the Parliament, NGOs and the Media. Being the focal point for environment-related information in the Indian Parliament, the Centre continues to actively track parliamentary discussions on environmental issues.

A substantial amount of environment-related information is exchanged in both the Houses of Parliament in response to queries and call attention notices raised by the Members. Such information relates largely to development activities with environmental implications, other relevant programmes, legislation, policies, etc. This information is compiled and published by the Centre on a yearly basis. The database currently holds details of questions and replies on environment and sustainable development issues in both houses of Parliament. The database is being constantly updated to include issues of national importance.
