MH SET 2021 Paper 1 Question Paper (26-Sep-2021)
The correct answer is

National Green Crop

The National Green Corps (NGC) is an environmental education programme of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India, launched in 2001-02. It works through 'Eco-clubs' formed in schools across the country.

Its aim is to make children aware of environmental issues, build their capacity to take care of the environment and mobilise them for practical action such as tree planting, waste management, water conservation and cleanliness drives. State nodal agencies organise the Eco-clubs with the help of teachers.

'Nature Lovers' and 'Soldiers of Nature' are not official government programmes of this kind, and E-Waste Management concerns the handling of electronic waste under the E-Waste (Management) Rules rather than a child-awareness scheme.

Hence, the answer is National Green Corps.
