Which of the following best describes/describe the aim of 'Green India Mission' of the Government of India? 1. Incorporating environmental benefits and costs into the Union and State Budgets thereby implementing the 'green accounting' 2. Launching the second green revolution to enhance agricultural output so as to ensure food security to one and all in the future 3. Restoring and enhancing forest cover and responding to climate change by a combination of adaptation and mitigation measures Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Explanation
Option (c) is correct because the National Mission for a Green India (GIM) is one of the eight missions under the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) specifically designed to protect, restore, and enhance India’s forest cover while responding to climate change through adaptation and mitigation measures. Statement 2 is a common distractor as it refers to agricultural productivity (Second Green Revolution), which falls under the National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture, not GIM. The core concept being tested is the specific mandate of India’s NAPCC missions and the ability to distinguish between forestry-led climate action and agricultural or economic policy.
