(MISHTI Scheme) Mangrove Initiative for Shoreline Habitats & Tangible Incomes
MISHTI Scheme is a Central government scheme aimed at promoting the conservation and restoration of mangrove habitats along the shorelines of India. The scheme also aims to provide tangible economic benefits to local communities through sustainable use of these ecosystems.
Mangrove Initiative for Shoreline Habitats & Tangible Incomes aims to facilitate mangrove plantations along the coastline and on salt pan lands, promoting the conservation and restoration of these valuable ecosystems. The MISHTI scheme provides financial and technical support to individuals, communities, NGOs and government agencies interested in mangrove plantations and associated livelihood activities.
MISHTI Scheme is implemented through a collaborative approach, utilizing the convergence of multiple sources of funding and resources. It leverages the strengths and provisions of different government schemes and initiatives such as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), the Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA) Fund and other relevant sources.
MISHTI scheme provides financial and technical assistance to individuals and communities for mangrove conservation, restoration and sustainable use. Some of the key features of the scheme are as follows:
