NPCA SCHEME

Subject : Environment

Context : Over Rs 1,000 crore has been released for the conservation of 157 wetlands in the country under the National Plan for Conservation of Aquatic Eco-systems (NPCA).

Concept :

  • Under the NPCA scheme, the central assistance is based on proposals received from state governments, in conformity with the guidelines and budget availability.
  • Accordingly, so far, MoEFCC has sanctioned projects for conservation of 157 wetlands in the country and released an amount of about Rs 1,039 crore as central share.

National Plan for Conservation of Aquatic Ecosystems (NPCA)

  • NPCA is a single conservation programme for both wetlands and lakes.
  • It is a centrally sponsored scheme, currently being implemented by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF).
  • It was formulated in 2015 by merging of the National Lake Conservation Plan and the National Wetlands Conservation Programme.
  • NPCA seeks to promote better synergy and avoid overlap of administrative functions.
