Match List-I with List-II
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Show Hint
Associate the core focus of the mission with the targets:
- Energy Efficiency \( \rightarrow \) MTOE (Oil Equivalent units).
- Sustainable Agriculture \( \rightarrow \) Micro-irrigation and organic farming.
- Green India \( \rightarrow \) Afforestation.
This makes matching intuitive.
Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
The National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) was launched in 2008 by the Government of India, comprising eight National Missions to address ecological stability, energy conservation, and climate resilience. Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let us match each National Mission under NAPCC with its specific target:
- (A). National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE): This mission aims to promote energy efficiency by establishing targets, such as saving energy measured in Million Tonnes of Oil Equivalent (MTOE) through the Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT) scheme.
Thus, (A) matches with (II).
- (B). National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA): This mission focuses on making agriculture resilient to climate change by promoting water-use efficiency, soil health cards, micro-irrigation, and climate-resilient farming systems like organic farming.
Thus, (B) matches with (IV).
- (C). National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change (NMSKCC): This mission promotes research and development in climate science by setting up dedicated research networks and Centers of Excellence for Climate Change.
Thus, (C) matches with (I).
- (D). National Mission for a Green India (GIM): This mission focuses on protecting, restoring, and enhancing India's forest cover, establishing clear afforestation and carbon sink targets.
Thus, (D) matches with (III).
This matching results in the sequence: (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III). Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct matching sequence is (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III).
