Neem is indigenous to India and used in afforestation programmes. It grows in tropical and subtropical regions across the world. Because of its therapeutic value, Neem oil extract is used to treat type 2 diabetes and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer. Neem, being a multifunctional tree, assists farmers in double their revenue through carbon credit under the clean development mechanism (CDM). Neem provides Fuel wood, timber, and soil fertility enhancement. Farmers in Karnataka profited from the carbon sequestered by the plants they cultivate. Farmers in the state's kolar area are planting mango and tamarind trees with the help of charity women for sustainable development, and they are selling carbon credits for each tone of CO2 absorbed by the plant. As a result, Neem is a source of income for many people. The Indian government's goal to expand agriculture and tree planting should include innovative, profitable agribusiness, as well as sustainable and resilient farming. Inadequate non-farm services, small holding sizes, a challenging rural environment, and general insecurity are all obstacles to agriculture and tree plantation. According to the Environmental Authority Act, every tree must be transplanted, and if this is not possible, 5 new seedlings must be planted. Under this Act, anyone who fells a tree shall pay a fine of Rs.10, 000 or face three months in imprisonment, however the key difficulty with the policy is that Tree Authorities are not present in every city in India, there have been countless cases of corruption when several violators got away by bribing or just paying up the price. It is proposed that a tree authority be dispatched to each state, and that Indians invest in research and development, infrastructure building, and technological implementation. The aim of the review is to shade more light on why the need of multipurpose tree/s, where they are found with respect to agro-climate zones of India with focus to Rajasthan state, their importance, policy details, limitations and future strategy.
