India is waking up to a new age – the age of clean renewable energy and conservation of fossil fuel. From being a nondescript developing nation that finds mention in the footnotes of global chronicles, our great nation has stepped into the centre stage and taken on a leading role in the global battle against climate change and global warming.
In the Paris COP 21 Climate Change Summit in 2015, India and France together launched the Solar Alliance – an initiative joined by about 120 nations committed to a greener future.
Not only did India launch the alliance but also hosts its headquarters in Gurugram (Gurgaon), near the capital New Delhi. The alliance will raise investments worth about Rs 100 crore to put in place the infrastructure to produce solar energy in large quantities.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also made a commitment to source over 40 percent of the country’s energy needs from “non-fossil fuel based sources” such as solar power, wind, and hydropower by the year 2030. The government has taken initiatives to promote solar energy generation across the country.
