By 2029:
• Protect area under Forest Cover.
• Increase net sown area.
Strategy:
1. Green cover surveillance and geo tag to monitor plant species.
2. Strengthening of National Mission for a Green India, Integrated Development of Wildlife Habitats, Conservation of Natural Resources and Ecosystem to improve in green cover.
3. Shifting or changing livelihood from agricultural activity through NEDP.
4. Sustainable management of forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.
5. Strengthening of State Action Plan for Climate Change in the State.
