5.5 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:
              Ð ÐDevelops policies and funds the implementation of plans and policies.

              Ð Ð Enacts  legislation  (laws),  such  as  The  Environment  (Protection)  Act,  1986  to  safeguard  the  environment  and
                 prosecute violators.
              Ð Ð Establishes missions, such as the Green India Mission and the National Solar Mission, to carry out green economy
                 projects; and
              Ð Ð 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.
              Functions of Private Organisations:

              Ð ÐEnforcing laws and policies enacted by the government.
              Ð ÐEnsuring that government regulations are followed by engaging in official missions.
              Ð ÐReporting individuals or groups that violate the law.
              Ð ÐEducating people and raising awareness about green economy initiatives.

              Ð ÐInforming the government and assisting it in implementing green policies.

                 Imagine you are a futuristic eco-designer tasked with envisioning a Green Economy cityscape. Create a visually
                 engaging poster that captures the essence of this concept, incorporating symbols of sustainability, economic
                 growth, and a harmonious coexistence with nature.
