UPSC IAS – 2016

The Green India Mission (GIM) is one of the eight National Missions under the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC).

Its primary aim is to protect, restore, and enhance India’s forest cover and to respond to climate change. This is achieved through a combination of adaptation and mitigation measures, focusing on enhancing carbon sinks, improving the ecosystem services provided by forests, and increasing the climate resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems.

Statement 1 refers to ‘green accounting’, which is a concept related to incorporating environmental costs and benefits into economic accounting, but it is not the core stated aim of GIM. Statement 2 refers to agricultural productivity enhancement, which is associated with ‘Green Revolution’, not GIM. Statement 3 accurately describes the core objectives of the Green India Mission.
