Electrified Over 3000 Villages in 100 Days: Modi

Led by India, more than 100 countries joined the launch of the ISA in France on the sidelines of the Paris Summit on Climate Change. “Fractured mandates always have uncertainty”, PM Modi said.

Together with China and the US, India is one of the top polluters in the world. “And, there should be no place for unilateral steps that become economic barriers for others”. It is not just a question of historical responsibility. They’ll be tempted by the addition market in, say, Africa, where a lot of villages are still off the grid. So, I speak in admiration for your resilience and resolve.

“It is important that the world knows about our states and the strengths of our states”.

To highlight the importance of solar energy, Modi said that in Indian tradition, Sun is the source of all forms of energy. It is more likely to insist that it would focus on increased use of clean energy to fight the adverse effects of climate change.

The prime minister said the Indian side had also expressed desire to take the matters forward.

The announcement followed pledges by 20 major economies to double their investment in renewable energy research and development.

India has devised a strategy to promote clean energy technologies, energy conservation and renewable energy.
