The Union Cabinet of India approved the new Pesticide Management Bill in February 2020. This Bill has provisions to regulate industry. However, it does not reflect critical prevailing issues, which are inevitable for reducing and mitigating risks arising from pesticide use. The Bill failed to address post registration risk reduction and mitigation, protection of pesticide users, community and environment. Therefore the Bill could have poor implications on protecting public health and environment; hence requires critical amendments.
