A new chapter on sustainable development and climate change was first introduced in the Economic Survey of:

2004-05
2011-12
2012-13
2013-14

The correct answer is (b).

The Economic Survey of India is an annual publication of the Ministry of Finance, Government of India. It provides an overview of the Indian economy in the previous year and outlines the government’s economic policy for the coming year.

The Economic Survey of 2011-12 was the first to include a chapter on sustainable development and climate change. The chapter discussed the challenges posed by climate change and the need for India to take action to mitigate its effects. It also outlined the government’s plans to promote sustainable development, including investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and climate-resilient agriculture.

The Economic Survey of 2011-12 was a significant step forward in the government’s efforts to address climate change. It marked the first time that the government had acknowledged the need for India to take action to mitigate climate change, and it outlined a comprehensive plan for doing so. The chapter on sustainable development and climate change has been included in every Economic Survey since then, and it has become an important part of the government’s policy framework on climate change.

The other options are incorrect because they do not correspond to the year in which the Economic Survey first included a chapter on sustainable development and climate change.
