Angil Agarwal is Director of the Centre for Science and Environment in New Delhi and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Environment Liaison Centre in Nairobi. In 1984 he became a member of the National Environmental Advisory Committee of the Government of India.
In 1977, he joined Earthscan at the International Institute for Environment and Development, London as Assistant Editor, and in 1979 shared the first $10 000 A. H. Boerma Award, presented by the UN Food and Agricultural Organisation to journalists on a world-wide basis, for focusing world attention on problems of hunger and poverty.
In 1982, Mr. Agarwal was Co-Editor of the Citizens Report on the State of India's Environment, which was unique in that it was the first time that a group of concerned citizens, without any government funding, had attempted the monumental task of studying all aspects of India's environment. It was a great success, and the second report, a 400-page volume, was released in September 1985.
