MNRE to Organise Global Student Solar on 150th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi

With the severe threat of climate change looming large, world is increasingly turning towards Gandhian ideas of environmental care and sustainable living. Gandhi Ji’s concept of non-violence went beyond human race and envisaged non violence towards environment as well. His maxim that, “The earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed” has to be our guiding principal in our fight against climate change. For India fight against climate change is a matter of faith and commitment. India has committed to reduce its carbon intensity by 33-35 % by the year 2030 and to install cumulative renewable energy capacity of 175 GW by 2022 and 450 GW by 2030.
