- 2. Its aim is to promote sustainable tourism.
- 3. It aims to bring tourism to Indian villages.
Which of these is/are correct?
- ANone of them is correct
- BOnly 1 and 2 are correct
- CAll three are correct
- DOnly 1 is correct
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (d) Only 1 is correct
Explanation
LiFE stands for Lifestyle for Environment. Prime Minister Narendra Modi introduced the idea at COP26 in Glasgow (2021), and Mission LiFE was launched in October 2022 with the UN Secretary-General. It asks individuals to adopt sustainable habits ("pro-planet people"), such as saving energy and water, cutting waste and single-use plastic, and mindful consumption, instead of a "use and throw" economy.
So statement 1 is correct. LiFE is not a tourism programme: promoting sustainable tourism or taking tourism to villages (statements 2 and 3) belongs to other schemes.
