         INDIA'S MISSION L.I.F.E

         STANDS FOR A GLOBAL
         ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION



         n  During the COP-26 meeting in Glasgow
           last year, Prime Minister Narendra
           Modi gave the mantra of LIFE (Lifestyle
           for Environment, i.e., Environment-
           Friendly Lifestyle), and the whole world
           appreciated it. India started the LIFE
           movement in partnership with several
           UN agencies.
         n  The vision of this campaign is to live a
           lifestyle that is in harmony with our planet
           and does not harm it, and those living
           such a lifestyle are called "Pro-Planet
           People."

         n  Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched
           the LIFE Global Movement on June 5 this
           year to inspire people, communities, and
           organisations across the world to adopt
           an environmentally conscious lifestyle.

             Mission LIFE learns from the
             past, operates in the present and
             focuses on the future.
