These leaders have played pivotal roles in shaping policies, implementing sustainable practices, and promoting environmental conservation nationwide. Women leaders in India have actively participated in policy formulation and governance processes related to the environment. Their contributions have resulted in implementing several environmental initiatives, including the protection of forests, the conservation of wildlife, and the promotion of sustainable land and resource management practices.
