India Fast Tracks Steps To Avert Desertification
Outlook Business
|June 2024
With a slew of steps targeted at conservation and large-scale tree plantation, India is moving firmly towards bringing at least one-third of its land under forest or tree cover.
-
Under the National Forest Policy (NFP), India aims to ensure that at least one-third of its total land mass is under forest or tree cover. To this end, the government is driving several afforestation schemes to avert desertification.
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change plays a pivotal role in supporting the afforestation activities of states. It is instrumental in the conservation, development, and promotion of forests under the National Mission for a Green India and Forest Fire Protection & Management Scheme.
