Abstract India is facing major environmental challenges, including air and water pollution, deforestation, and climate change. To address these issues, the Indian government has implemented several initiatives to promote sustainable development and protect the environment. These initiatives aim to promote the use of clean energy sources, improve the efficiency of energy use, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protect forests and wildlife, and improve the management of waste and water resources. One significant initiative is the implementation of the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC), which lays out a comprehensive strategy for reducing India's carbon footprint and mitigating the impacts of climate change. This plan includes the promotion of renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable agriculture and forestry practices. The Indian government has also launched the National Solar Mission, which aims to increase the share of solar energy in India's total energy mix. Additionally, the government has taken steps to protect and conserve India's forests, wildlife, and biodiversity. This includes the creation of protected areas, the promotion of eco-tourism, and the implementation of conservation and sustainable management practices. The government has also implemented policies and programs to improve waste management and reduce plastic pollution, such as the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission) and the ban on single-use plastics.
