The Green India Mission is one of the eight missions outlined under the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC), launched by the Government of India to address the challenges of climate change.

The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) is the nodal ministry responsible for the planning and execution of the Green India Mission.

Phase II of the Green India Mission, launched by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, emphasizes improving the quality of existing forests, enhancing their resilience to climate change impacts, and increasing their capacity to sequester carbon.

Tiger population estimation using scientific methods (like camera trapping) and the assessment of habitat quality are crucial indicators for evaluating the success of Project Tiger, and are regularly monitored by the NTCA.

The National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) was established by amending the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, through an amendment in 2006, making it a statutory body.

Project Tiger's core objective, as consistently emphasized by the NTCA, is to ensure the survival and conservation of tigers in their natural habitats, thereby maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity.
