Back India plans to achieve 50% non-fossil installed capacity by 2030: PM Modi



In a significant move towards green energy growth and transition, India is set to achieve 50 percent non-fossil installed capacity by 2030, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday.


Virtually addressing the G20 energy ministers via meeting, PM Modi highlighted the importance of energy in shaping the future, sustainability, growth, and development of both individuals and nations. He expressed that despite different realities and pathways for energy transition, the ultimate goal of every country remains the same.


With India being the world’s most populated nation and the fastest-growing large economy, the country is making commendable strides in fulfilling its climate commitments. PM Modi proudly revealed that India has surpassed its non-fossil installed electric capacity target nine years ahead of schedule and has now set even higher ambitions for itself.


“We are among the global leaders in solar and wind power," the Prime Minister stated, citing India’s significant progress in clean energy adoption. To showcase the nation’s commitment, the delegates of the Working Group were given the opportunity to visit the Pavagada Solar Park and Modhera Solar Village.


PM Modi highlighted some of India’s remarkable achievements over the past nine years. These include connecting over 190 million households with LPG, achieving the historic milestone of providing electricity to every village, and striving to provide piped cooking gas to more than 90 percent of the population in the coming years. He underscored that the goal is to ensure inclusive, resilient, equitable, and sustainable energy for all.


He informed that in 2015, India began a small movement by launching a scheme for the use of LED lights which turned out to be the largest LED distribution program in the world saving us more than 45 billion units of energy per year. He also touched upon starting the largest agricultural pump solarization initiative in the world and India’s domestic electric vehicle market projection of 10 million annual sales by 2030. He also highlighted commencing the rollout of 20% ethanol blended petrol this year which aims to cover the entire country by 2025.


For decarbonizing India, the prime minister said that the country is working on Mission mode on green hydrogen as an alternative and aims to transform India into a Global Hub for the production, use and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives.


Addressing the G20 group’s role in advancing sustainable and inclusive energy transition, PM Modi stressed the importance of including the Global South and providing low-cost finance for developing countries. He advocated for bridging technology gaps, promoting energy security, and diversifying supply chains. The prime minister applauded the ‘High-level Principles on Hydrogen‘ as a positive step in this direction.


To strengthen energy security and collaboration, the prime minister suggested exploring the potential of transnational grid interconnections. India is actively promoting mutually beneficial cooperation with its neighboring countries in this regard. He invited all participating nations to join the Green Grids Initiative of the International Solar Alliance, titled ‘One Sun, One World, One Grid.’


Concluding his address, PM Modi emphasized India’s traditional wisdom in caring for the environment and launched Mission LiFE - Lifestyle for Environment, a movement aimed at turning each individual into a climate champion. He reiterated the significance of preserving our ‘One Earth,’ protecting the interests of our ‘One Family,’ and striving towards a green ‘One Future’ through our thoughts and actions, no matter how we transition.

Narrate an experience that shows appearances can be deceiving

Image
A person standing in the railway station dressed in a good looking attire It is a common habit of humans to make judgements at the first look. It does not matter if we are seeing a person or a thing for the first time, our minds do not need to take a second look before coming to a judgement. If we look at a person, we quickly look at his clothes and shoes and come to the assumption that he is poor or rich. The same is the case with things, we decide for ourselves whether a substance is expensive or cheap just by its glittering and glistening. Over time, many learned personalities have taught us to "not judge a book by its cover." Through his various plays and writing, William Shakespeare, the popular eighteenth-century English writer, has sent the message to not fall for outward appearances. I have recently expereinced an incident that explains why is it important to not rely on just outward appearances to make a judgement about a person. I was travelling by train during my s...

Abhisara - the Tryst Notes

Image
Upagupta, the disciple of Buddha, lay asleep in the dust by thr city wall of Mathura. Lamps were all out, doors were all shut, ans stars were all hidden by the murky sky of August. Whose feet were those tinkling with anklets, touching his breast of a sudden? He woke up startled, and the light from a woman's lamp fell on his forgiving eyes. It was Vasavadatta the dancing girl, starred with jewels, Clouded with a pale blue mantle, drunk with the wine of her youth. She lowered her lamp and saw the young face, austerely beautiful. 'Forgive me, young ascetic,' said the woman, 'Graciously come to my house. The dusty earth is not a fit bed for you.' The young ascetic answered, 'Woman, go on your way; When the time is ripe I will come to you.' Suddenly the black night showed its teeth in a flash of lightning.  The storm growled from the corner of the sky, and the woman trembled in fear. A year had not yet passed. It was eveing of a day in April, in the Spring. The b...

Macbeth Personal Notes: Act 1 Scene 3 (Part 2/2)   "Lesser than Macbeth, and greater. Not so happy, yet much happier. Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none." The witches mean that though Banquo will be lesser in rank than Macbeth, he will be morally higher. Banquo will be less successful than Macbeth, but he will be satisfied with his life and do not have to worry about someone taking his position. Banquo will be the father of the kings though he himself will not get the chance to be one. Witches vanish When Macbeth hears the witches predict about his future of becoming the Thane of Cawdor and eventually king, and Banquo's prediction of becoming the father of kings, he asks the witches how these predictions will come true and how the witches have come to know about their future. He also asks them that why had they chose them to stop on the way to the Foress and talk about their futures.  The witches chose not to answer Macbeth's questions and vanish into the air. ...

Describe a moment of pure joy or awe you experienced, using your words to paint a picture of the scene and evoke the emotions you felt

Image
Describe a moment of pure joy or awe you experienced, using your words to paint a picture of the scene and evoke the emotions you felt. Everyone has a moment that gives joy and eternal bliss. Some never forget those moments till the end of their lives while others keep looking for new moments to add to their collection. These moments could be anything like a journey during the summer vacation, a beautiful sunset scene, the ending of a novel, time spent with friends or children, an unimaginable dream, and lots more. The moment that gives me pure joy is none of the above-mentioned, it is very different and unique, yet I can say with confidence beaming through my entire body that my moment is the happiest of them all. It is not the fun of a journey during the hot summers or cold winters, it is not an emotional ending of a novel, and it is neither enjoying a show. It is simple yet so profound that it left a joyful mark on my heart so that I would not even think of ever forgetting it.  ...

A village fair is very different from a city one. It is usually held annually and is connected with a religious festival or harvest. The purpose of such fair is usually trade and to exhibit and sell village handicrafts.

The true meaning of fair is to celebrate the happiness and celebrate it with others. This cannot be found in the city fairs no matter how har...

Class 11th Final Term Maths Test

Image
It was a few days ago when my class teacher announced that the following week class tests will be conducted. It did not caught us out of blue as we had already expected it, but the thing that surprised us was the syllabus and schedule for the test. We had no breaks between the tests since the school decided to conduct all the tests in a single week. Somedays we had to prepare for two subjects.  The syllabus was so vast that it was almost impossible to cover in a few days. All the main subjects including Physics, Chemistry and Maths had 2 chapters and these were the chapters that I had never even read before. There was a chapters in Maths called Limits and Derivatives, which I was hearing about for the first time. When I first opened my Maths book and looked at the chapter, it almost panicked me. There were all types of new symbols and strange equations which I had no idea how to solve. I decided it would be a waste of time to understand this completely new chapter all by myself, so...
