India is aiming at getting a Ramsar tag for 75 of its wetlands on the 75th year of independence, top officials from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) said on Tuesday.

India already has 49 Ramsar Sites -- wetlands of international importance -- and now, is pushing for 26 more. "Nominations for 23 have already been sent while three more are in the pipeline," said the officials.
