Explanation:
The aim of the 'Green India Mission' of the Government of India is to restore and enhance forest cover and respond to climate change through a combination of adaptation and mitigation measures.
Option 1, which suggests incorporating environmental benefits and costs into the Union and State Budgets to implement 'green accounting,' is not specifically related to the aim of the Green India Mission. Green accounting refers to an accounting framework that includes the valuation of environmental resources and ecosystem services, but it is not the primary focus of the mission.
Option 2, which mentions launching a second green revolution to enhance agricultural output for ensuring food security, is also not the primary aim of the Green India Mission. The mission primarily focuses on restoring and enhancing forest cover and addressing climate change.
