The Sundarbans delta in India and Bangladesh is valued at large and is under considerable attention worldwide. However, in Brundtland's terms, which suggest that to achieve sustainability of sustainable development, economic growth, social equity, and environmental security can and should all be achieved together, the Sundarbans is failing badly. Therefore, institutional adequacies of fragmentation, goal displacement, and implementation deficit need to be addressed before aspiring for sustainability in the Sundarbans. This is an attempt to analyse the prevailing situation in the Sundarbans and provide reasons for the wide gap between what has been achieved and what had been envisaged. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
