Correct answer: C
India’s first Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification was issued on 27 January 1994 under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.

The year 2004 was not the year of its announcement. Exam tip: Remember National Environment Policy—2006, and Environment (Protection) Act—1986.

The revised Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification was issued by the Government of India in 2006. It laid down the framework and categories for environmental clearance of projects.

In which year was the Green Credit Programme notified in India?
Correct answer: D
The Green Credit Programme was notified in 2023. It aims to incentivise voluntary environmental actions, such as tree plantation and water conservation, through green credits.

The governing fact is the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It contains 17 Sustainable Development Goals, commonly called the SDGs. They provide a shared global framework for addressing poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, clean water, decent work, climate action, peace and other connected development concerns. Therefore option A, seventeen, is correct. The number refers to the goals themselves; each goal contains more specific targets and indicators. Option B gives ten, which is too small, while option C gives five and option D gives thirty; none matches the official set. Remember that the SDGs are designed to be interconnected, balancing social well-being, economic progress and environmental protection rather than focusing on only one issue.
