Question

Match the Mission in Group I with their objectives in Group II.\[\begin{array}{|c|l|c|l|} \hline Group I & Mission & Group II & Objective \\ \hline \text{(P)} & \text{National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency} & \text{(1)} & \text{Gain better understanding of climate science, impacts, challenges by setting up climate research fund} \\ \hline \text{(Q)} & \text{National Mission on Sustainable Habitat} & \text{(2)} & \text{Weather insurance mechanism and afforestation of 6 million hectares of degraded forest land} \\ \hline \text{(R)} & \text{National Water Mission} & \text{(3)} & \text{Decrease energy consumption in large consuming industries} \\ \hline \text{(S)} & \text{National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change} & \text{(4)} & \text{20% improvement of water use efficiency through pricing} \\ \hline \text{(5)} & \text{Enforcement of automotive fuel economy standards using pricing measures} \\ \hline \end{array}\]

• A. P-3, Q-5, R-4, S-1
• B. P-2, Q-5, R-4, S-3
• C. P-3, Q-4, R-5, S-1
• D. P-2, Q-5, R-3, S-4

Hint:

Trick to remember NAPCC missions: - NMEEE → Industry energy reduction (PAT scheme). - Sustainable Habitat → Fuel efficiency + transport + urban waste. - Water Mission → 20% water use efficiency. - Strategic Knowledge → Climate research + data + awareness.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE).
- Objective: promote energy efficiency in energy-intensive industries. - Specifically focuses on decreasing energy consumption in large consuming industries via schemes like PAT (Perform, Achieve and Trade). \[ P \Rightarrow 3 \]

Step 2: National Mission on Sustainable Habitat.
- Focuses on urban planning, transport, and waste management. - Includes enforcement of automotive fuel economy standards using pricing measures to reduce emissions. \[ Q \Rightarrow 5 \]

Step 3: National Water Mission.
- Goal: improve water use efficiency by 20% through pricing and demand-side management. - Hence, objective = 20% improvement of water use efficiency through pricing. \[ R \Rightarrow 4 \]

Step 4: National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change.
- Focused on R&D, capacity building, and establishing climate research funds. - Objective = gain better understanding of climate science and impacts. \[ S \Rightarrow 1 \]

Step 5: Final matching.
Thus, the correct sequence is: \[ P-3, \; Q-5, \; R-4, \; S-1 \] This matches with Option (A).

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{(A) P-3, Q-5, R-4, S-1}} \]
