National Mission on Sustainable Habitat
National Water Mission
National Mission for Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem
National Mission for a Green India
National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture
National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate

National National Solar Mission

A National Solar Mission will be launched to significantly increase the share of solar energy in the total energy mix while recognizing the need to expand the scope of other renewable and non-fossil options such as nuclear energy, wind energy and biomass.
Need to enable creation of more affordable and more convenient solar power systems and enable storage of solar power for sustained, long-term use

National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency

Enhancing cost effectiveness of improvements in energy efficiency in energy-intensive large industries and facilities, through certification of energy savings that could be traded
Developing fiscal instruments to promote energy efficiency.

National Mission National Mission on Sustainable Habitat

Energy Conservation Building Code to be extended in its application, and incentives to be provided for retooling existing building stock
Recycling of materials and urban waste management; technology development for producing power from waste

National Water Mission

Focus on ensuring integrated water resource management to conserve water, minimize wastage and ensure equitable distribution across and within states
Recycling of waste water to meet large part of water needs of urban areas

National Mission National Mission for Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem

To evolve management measures for sustaining and safeguarding the Himalayan glacier and mountain eco-system
Mission would seek to understand whether and the extent to which the Himalayan glaciers are in recession and how the problem can be addressed

National Mission National Mission for a Green India

To reach national target of 33% land area under forest and tree cover from the current level of 23%
Initial corpus of over Rs 6000 crores ($1.5 bn) earmarked for CAMPA (Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority) to commence work; scaled up activity

National Mission for National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture

Mission to devise strategies to make Indiian agriculture more resilient to climate change
Identify and develop new varieties of crops (thermal resistant crops, alternative cropping patterns, capable of wiithstanding extreme weather)

National Mission on National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change

Mission to identify the challenges off and the responses to climate change
Funding of high quality and focused research into various aspects of climate change
