Mission Sahbhagita has been launched by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
It is an important step towards participatory conservation and wise use of wetlands.
Its aim is to enable a society ownership approach with communities leading at the forefront.
The Ministry is currently implementing a centrally sponsored scheme namely, National Plan for Conservation of Aquatic Eco-systems (NPCA).
Under the NPCA scheme, the ministry has sanctioned the central assistance for conservation of 165 wetlands across the country, including 42 Ramsar sites.
