Modi speaks at TERI
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed TERI [The Energy and Resources Institute] at the World Sustainable Development Summit.
In his inaugural speech, he said,
“It wasn’t the planet but people and their commitment to nature that was fragile.”
Although Prime Minister Modi proclaimed that India had “walked the talk” by ensuring that partial energy access to the poor persists as a cornerstone of its environmental schemes.
It includes initiatives such as setting up solar panels under the PM-KUSUM scheme where farmers could use and sell surplus power to the grid.
In addition to this, Modi also talked about 90 million households getting access to clean cooking fuel under the Ujjwala Yojana scheme.
All these schemes ensure the promotion of sustainability and equity.
Narendra Modi also talked about the LED bulbs distribution scheme. The scheme has been running for over seven years.
As per the reports, it saved close to 220 billion electricity units and shut out 180 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
Further, he also discussed that The National Hydrogen Mission aims to tap into ‘green hydrogen,’ and it was up to academic and research institutes such as TERI to develop scalable solutions.
India has 49 Ramsar sites (wetlands) spread over more than 1 million hectares.
