This mission has adopted an
integrated cross-sectoral approach as it will be implemented on both public as well as private lands with a key role of the localcommunities in planning, decision making,implementation and monitoring.The government has merged National Mission for a Green India, which aims afforestation at 10 million hectares of land over the next decade, with MGNREGA to increase and improve the country's forest cover.
