Native Tribes
              Native or indigenous people are the original inhabitants of a territory who continue to live by their old way of life. Many
              such tribes in India's hills and forests can benefit from the green economy. For example, tribals in Nangur village in Bastar
              district, Chattisgarh have greatly benefited from using various parts of the Mahua plant to make eco-friendly plates,
              cones, and bowls. The tribals have turned this into a lucrative local business.

              Tribes should revitalise their local economy, i.e. promote local products. By developing and using our local products,
              tribal dependence on outside produce reduces. This will make them self-reliant, thus achieving economic independence.


              Science and Technology
              Science and Technology is required in all sectors of sustainable development. Scientists can explain technical issues to
              governments and policymakers. They can also offer long-term answers to improve people's lives. Example of multiple
              stakeholders working together—The ‘Liter of Light’ initiative assists in bringing light to underprivileged households.

                      Government and Private Agencies


              Governments  and Private agencies create and implement  sustainable development laws, policies,  plans, standards,
              programs, and international agreements.

              The Government
              Almost all Ministries of the Government of India are involved in making decisions for long-term development. However,
              the Ministries of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), Agriculture, Water Resources, Finance, Industries,
              Rural Development, Commerce, and Non-conventional Energy Sources have a significant role.
              Some of the functions of government are:
              •  Develops policies and funds the implementation of plans and policies.
              •   Enacts legislation (laws), such as The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 to safeguard the environment and prosecute
                  violators.
              •   Establishes missions, such as the Green India Mission and the National Solar Mission, to carry out green economy
                  projects; and
              •   Collaborates with scientists and educates the public on environmentally sound practices (pollution management,
                  chemical-free farming).

              Private Agencies
              In a country as broad and diverse as ours, the government cannot ensure the development of the green economy on its
              own. For the success of fostering a green economy, private agencies, non-governmental organisations, social workers,
              private corporations, and individual people must collaborate with the Government.
