The Life movement is a global initiative launched by Prime Minister Modi in June 2022 to promote sustainable lifestyles and protect the environment. The Parliamentary Forum on Life will provide a platform for parliamentarians to share their insights and best practices on sustainable living. It will also play a key role in raising awareness about the Life movement and its goals.
