Explanation

India has launched several green initiatives to promote sustainable development. The National Green Highways Mission, launched under the Green Highways Policy (2015), aims to develop eco-friendly highways through community-led plantation and maintenance [1]. Research and Development (R&D) for Clean Coal Technologies is a significant initiative supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the Ministry of Coal to reduce the environmental impact of coal-based power and achieve 'Swachh' (Clean) power goals [2]. The National Green Corridor Programme (often associated with the Green Energy Corridor project) focuses on integrating large-scale renewable energy into the national grid, while the concept of 'Green Corridors' also extends to the development of sustainable linear infrastructure and greenways to mitigate pollution. Together, these initiatives represent India's multi-sectoral approach to environmental conservation and carbon footprint reduction.
