Assam's Majuli aims to be 1st carbon neutral Indian district
Assam CM Sarbananda Sonowal has launched an initiative to develop Majuli, the world's largest river island, as India's first carbon neutral district and a biodiversity heritage site. "Majuli is facing existential crisis and therefore initiatives like designating carbon neutral district and biodiversity heritage site are the need of the hour to preserve its rich heritage and legacy," said the CM.
