Union government has asked for 15 days to deliberate over the offer, initiated by Bhopal Group of Information and Action (BGIA) and its global supporters.
Referring to UNEP offer BGIA, an ngo working for gas victims held a press conference here on Tuesday.
"It would be a comprehensive assessment of the 3.5km area, that continues to effect inhabitants in some 22 colonies," said BGIA representative Rachna Dhingra.
NGO activists said they met union minister for environment, forests and climate change and apprised him of the UNEP offer on Saturday. Javadekar has asked for 15 days to respond.
"Union government has nothing to loose by this evaluation. We have no objection if government agencies are a part of the initiative," she added.
Approximately 16 studies evaluating the toxic waste contamination and effects on population have taken place since 1999.
"Earlier studies have not been comprehensive to assess the damage, in its true sense," said Dhingra.
Activists said they hope Dow Chemicals, which took over Union Carbide in 2001, will be made to pay for cleanup.
Leak from the union carbide in 1984 led to the worlds worst industrial disaster in Bhopal killing hundred and injuring thousands.
