What the Himalayas need
Himalayan states and Union Territories together make up only about 4.5 per cent of India's GDP, yet their real value goes far beyond that number. Protecting this fragile mountain ecology is vital if India is to meet its 2047 goals. A piecemeal effort won't work. The call is for one integrated national approach that treats the Himalayas as a shared, long-term national asset.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The Himalayan states and Union Territories produce roughly 4.5 per cent of India's gross domestic product.
- That GDP share does not fully capture how important the Himalayan region is.
- Protecting the Himalayan ecosystem is described as crucial for India's 2047 goals, and an integrated approach is being called for.
