              Green India Mission (GIM)
              The National Mission for a Green India (GIM) is one of eight missions in India's action plan to address the issues of climate
              change. GIM aims to conserve, restore and expand forest cover. It combines strategies for ecosystems, biodiversity,
              water, biomass, maintaining mangroves, wetlands, and key habitats, as well as services such as fuel, feed, timber, and
              non-wood forest products (fruits, flowers, seeds, herbs, honey, etc).


              National Solar Mission
              National Solar Mission aims to address India's energy needs in a sustainable manner. It aspires to make India a
              global leader in solar energy (a renewable form of energy, as opposed to coal, petroleum and other fossil fuels).
              Along with energy and environmental preservation, the Solar Mission supports local energy production and
              delivery. The Solar Mission has been a success in Diu, which became India's first Union Territory to switch to 100%
              solar energy.

              The transition to solar energy has also aided in the reduction of electricity bills for its citizens. Solar power
              plants have been erected over 50 acres in one of India's least populous UTs, with a geographical span of only 42
              kilometres. On a daily basis, the UT generates a total of 13 megawatts of power through solar power generation
              plants. Rooftop solar plants produced roughly 3 megawatts (MW), while other solar power plants produced 10
              megawatts (MW).
