Leaders stress energy conservation for India's future
Pralhad Joshi, the Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, and President Droupadi Murmu both talked about how important it is to save energy.
They said that using energy wisely is not just an option but a necessity.
The government is working hard to add more renewable energy like solar and wind power.
They have given out contracts for a lot of new renewable energy projects.
The President also mentioned that saving energy helps keep the air clean, the water safe, and the environment balanced.
She said that every bit of energy we save is good for nature and future generations.
The government is also promoting renewable energy through different schemes and initiatives.
Pralhad Joshi and President Droupadi Murmu emphasized the importance of energy conservation for India's future energy security.
The government has no plans to cancel any green energy projects and has awarded 67,554 megawatt of renewable power projects since April 2023.
Renewable energy capacity is being added through multiple pathways, including central agencies, states, and commercial sectors.
Solar-plus-storage systems are gaining preference over plain solar and wind-solar hybrid projects.
President Murmu highlighted that energy conservation is crucial for maintaining clean air, safe water sources, and a balanced ecosystem, and that behavioural change is essential for energy efficiency.
