Prakash Javadekar, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Environment, Forests and Climate Change, has announced that the Ministry aims to make India desertification-neutral by 2030.
The Minister said the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change would collaborate with the Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Water Resources to achieve this target.
Increasing population is resulting in one-third of the country's land area becoming barren or getting desertified. Climate change and resulting disturbances such as floods also have a negative effect on the land.
