Abstract
Gro Harlem Brundtland, Prime Minister of Norway and Chairperson of the World Commission on Environment and Development, was awarded the Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development in New Delhi on 20 September 1990.1 This event is significant, because Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, led the Indian delegation to the first United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, held in Stockholm in 1972, and articulated what soon became the acknowledged position of the developing countries on environmental issues.
