Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's budget speech launched various schemes and policies aimed at ecological conservation.
The newly introduced schemes are MISHTI, Amrit Dharohar and PM PRANAM.
This is a new scheme which will facilitate mangrove plantation on salt lands along the sea coast of India.
The scheme will operate through “convergence between MGNREGS, Campa Fund and other sources”.
It aims at intensive afforestation of coastal mangrove forests.
There are such forests on both the east and west coasts of India, with the Sundarbans in Bengal being one of the largest mangrove forests.
PM PRANAM means (Prime Minister Programme for Restoration, Awareness, Nourishment and Amelioration of Mother Earth).
The program will endeavour to encourage States and Union Territories promoting balanced use of alternative fertilisers and chemical fertilisers.
