The National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) encompasses eight missions focused on various aspects of climate change mitigation and adaptation. Promoting solar energy (National Solar Mission), afforestation (National Mission for Green India), and improving water-use efficiency (National Water Mission) are explicit goals of the NAPCC. While reducing energy consumption is a goal (National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency), the specific method mentioned, “supply side management,” is not the primary or exclusive focus. The mission aims at improving efficiency across sectors, including demand-side actions and overall system efficiency, not just supply-side management. Therefore, B is the goal that is not as directly or exclusively stated as the others within the core objectives of NAPCC missions.

NAPCC consists of eight missions addressing climate change.
Key missions include solar energy, enhanced energy efficiency, water, green India, etc.
The Enhanced Energy Efficiency mission focuses broadly on improving energy efficiency, not specifically or exclusively on supply side management.

The eight missions of NAPCC are National Solar Mission, National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency, National Water Mission, National Mission for Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem, National Mission for a Green India, National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture, and National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change. Supply-side management relates to energy production and distribution, while energy efficiency missions often focus on reducing energy demand or improving efficiency across end-use sectors.
