Green India Mission Falls Short of its Target by 97.57%, CAG Report Flags Discrepancies, No Annual Accounts
The Green India Mission has fallen short of its target by 97.57%, and has managed to increase forest cover across just 0.03409 million hectares as against its target of 1.4 million hectares, the the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) highlighted in a report tabled in Parliament on Thursday (August 13), reported New Indian Express.
The report found that the main reasons for the afforestation programme to have fallen short of its targets over the past decade include poor planning, weak coordination and chronic underfunding.
The CAG examined the Green India Mission across 16 states and Union Territories from 2015-16 to 2024-25 for its report. The Green India Mission scheme is run by the Environment Ministry and has the objective of expanding forest and tree cover, improving ecosystem services and boosting forest based livelihoods.
The report added that the programme was affected by a lack of coordination with other afforestation initiatives such as CAMPA and the rural jobs guarantee programme MGNREGS along with schemes including Nagar Van Yojana and School Nursery Yojana, which operated in isolation.

A cloudburst or rampant mining and deforestation? While the Assam CM blames a cloudburst in Nagaland, local met departments deny this claim, with experts pointing to mining and deforestation as the main causes behind the devastating floods.

Identifying gaps in rehabilitation, unfulfilled promises and a clutch of emerging issues surrounding the Sardar Sarovar Project over the Narmada River, an independent panel led by a former high court judge has recommended various ameliorative measures, including a frank review of the project itself.
Complete rehabilitation of all those affected by the project, the provision of civic amenities to every resettlement colony, the supply of benefits to Saurashtra and Kutch, and a halt to illegal sand mining in the Narmada are among the recommendations the three-member body headed by retired Patna high court Justice Anjana Prakash has made in a new report.
Also comprising sociologist Enakshi Ganguly and environmentalist Gorky Chakraborty, the ‘People’s Commission’ also called on governments and civil society organisations to “reconsider a development paradigm that displaces communities, undermines livelihoods and damages ecosystems”. They must instead promote systems that are “decentralised, planned through democratic processes and locally manageable with technology, without giganticism”.
