    Bela Gram, recognised as India’s first Net-Zero Panchayat, is located in Bhandara district in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. The village achieved net-zero greenhouse gas emissions through a range of local environmental initiatives such as planting large numbers of trees, promoting clean cooking fuel, installing solar panels in homes and public buildings, implementing doorstep waste segregation, and eliminating single-use plastics. The initiative was led by the village Sarpanch Sharada Gaydhane, whose leadership helped mobilise community participation in environmental conservation.
