“We will continue to protect and preserve the unique ecological balance of Bharat’s hill states through sustainable development initiatives, and prepare a special master plan to maintain their pristine beauty and biodiversity, taking into account local geography, culture and traditional practices.”
Sustainable development of hill states is supported through eco-sensitive zone regulations, the National Mission for Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem, disaster-resilience measures, and region-specific schemes. However, a distinct, dedicated special master plan for balanced, ecology-sensitive development of hill states, as specifically pledged, is only thinly evidenced as formally prepared. Partial, low confidence.
We have started multiple programmes to protect the environment like PM Surya Ghar Yojana, Railway Electrification, PM e-Bus, promotion of EVs, Ethanol and Bio-fuel promotion among others. Through these programmes, our citizens will benefit from the opportunity to live in a clean environment.
We will promote recycling programmes across the country. We will institutionalise recycling mandates across sectors to maximise mineral recovery from used products.
We will strengthen Mission LIFE, establishing a comprehensive repository encompassing both traditional and contemporary best practices, and fostering the global adoption of environmentally friendly lifestyles to promote sustainable living across the globe.
