Jawaharlal Nehru NationalSolar
Mission
Establish India as a global leader in
solar energy by creating the policy
conditions for its diffusion across
the country as quickly as possible.
GW energy from solar by 2022.
20 million solar lighting systems
for rural areas by 2022
National Mission on Sustainable
Habitat
• Energy efficiency in residential
and commercial sectors.
• Switch over to public transport
by commuters.
• Recycling of material and
urbanwastemanagement:
power from waste
• Increasing energy efficiency
in buildings: building bye laws
and standards, energy
performance monitoring,
national standards for
construction and recycling of
construction waste.
• Urban transport: norms
integrating congestion
charges, parking, norms for
pedestrian and cycling,
integrating transport planning
with spatial planning.
• Water supply: mandatory
rainwater harvesting, water
and energy audits.
National Mission on Green India
• Increase forest/tree cover by 5
millionhectares.
• Improve quality of forest/tree
cover on another 5 million
hectares.
• Improve eco-system services
like carbon sequestration.
• Qualitative improvement of
forest cover/ ecosystem in
moderately dense forests (1.5
Mha), open degraded forests (3
Mha), degraded grassland (0.4
Mha) and wetlands (0.1 Mha).
• Eco-restoration/afforestation
of scrub, shifting cultivation
• Increase forest-based
livelihoodincome ofabout3
million households.
• Enhanced annual CO 2
sequestration by 50-60 million
tonnes in the year 2020
areas, cold deserts, mangroves,
ravines and abandoned mining
areas (1.8 Mha).
• Bringing urban/ peri-urban
lands under forest and tree
cover (0.20 Mha).
• Agro-forestry /social forestry
(3 Mha).
• Improvement of forest- based
livelihoods for about 3 million
households living in and around
forests.
National Mission on Sustaining
Himalayan Ecosystem
Develop a sustainable national
capacity to continuously assess the
health status of theHimalayan
Ecosystem.
• Continuous monitoring of
the eco-system.
• Data generation.
• Glaciology research
• Generation of bio-geo
database
• Ecological modeling of
Himalayas.
• Prediction of Socio-Economic
and Climate change
scenarios.
• Vulnerability a ssessment.
National Mission on Enhanced
Energy Efficiency
Upscale the effort to unlock the
market for energy efficiency.
Cumulative avoided electricity
capacity addition of 19,598 MW
• Specific energy consumption
reduction.
• Incentivizing action through
energy savings certificates.
• National energy efficiency
road.
