Development must be sustainable else it is destruction rather than development.

Monoculture must be avoided when plantation is done, diverse tree should be planted as it helps in preserving biodiversity..

When landing at Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi looks like a desert, with very few trees, compared to when landing at Heathrow, London. There must be afforestation drive in Delhi and pollution levels will come down.

Big changes come from small core efforts. Is it possible for all government institutions to shift to Banana Leaves as plates for meals(wherever served). Its even possible to put the leaf on a plate for support. It will help save water for cleaning and serves as a biodegradable alternate to plastic. Furthermore, these leaves can be then sent to the cows as its a perfect meal for them.

bring in "Net metering policy" for Rooftop solar. Many people are desperately waiting to install Roof top solar and contribute towards sustaonable development./

Hi, Along with present movements such as clean ganga, swach Bharat please start another movement for creating awareness on RAIN WATER HARVESTING, WATER PITS (for residential & commercial buildings), check dams for Rural places etc., It is really really important for future generations considering the water scarcity, we are facing now in India.

Socio-economic development is for sure needed in the 21st century but not as much at the cost of destroying or degrading the environment. We must balance the development and consider the environmental issues at hand as well. Therefore, whenever we develop something, a thorough and strict EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) should be taken place. If we do that, we can save the environment, save the biodiversity, etc. and development would occur in the frame where the environment is not harmed.

We are facing power shortage. Sir, if we can plant solar panel on every roof. we can solve power problem. if govt. give panel on subsidised rate or easy instalment.

Solar paneling along:-Rajasthan, Gujrat & West Bengal borders; wind -mill along J&K,north eastern states(NEs) borders; Marine wave turbines along India & Shree Lanka international marine border;furniture wood forest planting along Nepal, Bhutan & NEs borders;under Defense engineering. pros:Waste land better utilized, electricity needs of border villages or defense establishment,strengthening of NO ILL-LEGAL BORDER CROSS POLICY(fishermen too),financial benefit goes to DRDo or Defense pensions.

Today we are suffering from low electricity production . Sir I have a plan we don't,t have to take electricity from any other country and can give electricity to them.we can plant a solar panel on every road of INDIA have every small electricity storage plant after 10 km.
