National Solar Mission: Aimed at promoting solar energy.ii. National Mission for a Green India: Focused on afforestation and increasing forest cover.iv. National Mission on Sustainable Habitat: Focused on making cities more sustainable through better waste management and energy efficiency.Why the others are excluded:iii.
