India has been making visible progress in
terms of making climate change and sustainable
development policies. In 2008, the government
unveiled the National Action Plan on Climate
Change (NAPCC), which along with critical sus-
tainable development plans encompasses eight
National Missions such as the National Solar
Mission, National Mission for Enhanced Energy

Habitat, National Water Mission, National
Mission for Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem,
National Mission for a Green India, National
Mission for Sustainable Agriculture and National
Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate
Change having independent and collective objec-

life and environment. The NAPCC identifi ed
important strategic areas like renewable energy
(solar in particular), water conservation, forest
conservation, protection of natural habitat, con-
servation of energy, energy effi ciency, technology
for waste to energy, clean technology, effi cient
and convenient public transport system, resource
effi ciency and strategic knowledge centres for a
green economy in India. Industry bodies like the
Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and
Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce
and Industry (FICCI) have been striving hard to
