Besides, the Assam Chief Minister said, “Our govt has decided to increase the forest cover from 36% to 38% in coming 5 years by means of large scale plantation. In kaziranga we had seen poaching cases touching the 50 mark in a year but now we have brought it down to 1 poaching case in last year and this year also.”

When India will enter 2030s it will do so with a more robust, transparent & credible system. Further technology will ensure that those who do not have access to justice due to distance will not be excluded anymore.”

“Development and environment can be increased at same pace if we understand the issue correctly. How do we create employment? Definitely not by destroying the environment, but by sustainable development which India is committed to the Global Forums,” Rijiju said.
