Ans: Role of the Government: The government makes policies and provides funds for implementing plans and policies. It makes legislations (laws), such as ‘The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986’ to protect the environment and take actions against law-breakers. It sets up missions, such as the Green India Mission and National Solar Mission to act on green economy projects. It works with scientists and educates the public on environmentally safe practices (pollution control, chemical-free farming).

Role of Private Agencies: The government alone cannot make the green economy successful in such a large and diverse country like ours. Private agencies, non-government agencies, social workers, private companies and individual citizens need to work together with the government for the success of promoting green economy.

The role of private agencies include following laws and policies made by the government, making sure government policies are being followed by participating in government missions, reporting people or groups who break the law, educating people and creating awareness about green economy activities, and providing information to the government and helping it implement green policies.
