The central government has added to Bharat’s achievement in afforestation by including the Mangrove Initiative for Shoreline Habitats and Tangible Incomes (MISHTI) in its budget. Forward-thinking states like Gujarat have taken the initial step toward preservation and restoration, and we plan to support such beneficial initiatives by assisting them in reaping the greatest environmental advantages.”
“Gujarat as a state is rich in mangroves cover, which has consistently increased by two and a half folds in the last two decades,” said Shri Mahesh Singh, GEC Member Secretary. We can certainly claim to have the second largest in Bharat after the Sundarbans. We are beginning the process of restoration, preservation, and habitat plantation, and expect to become the largest in the country, thanks to Central Government initiatives and a favorable political outlook.”
