Answer : 4. "NITI Aayog"
Explanation :

Recently NITI Aayog launched the “Greening and Restoring Barren Lands with Agroforestry (GROW)” initiative, unveiling a portal for universal access to state and district-level data. Hosted on the Bhuvan website, GROW uses advanced technologies such as remote sensing and GIS to assess agroforestry suitability across India. This is in line with national targets, which aim to restore 26 million hectares of degraded land by 2030 and create a carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes. The initiative uses a developed Agroforestry Suitability Index (ASI) for national-level prioritization, considering parameters such as land use, barren land, slope, proximity to water and soil organic content.
