India is becoming a democratic and reliable partner for global industrial diversification, and in that context has struck a better balance between both economy and ecology. I am sure that everyone here is also proud of the efforts made by India on climate change as compared to those made by large developed nations. Today India has advanced with great speed towards its target of generating 450 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030. We have also started to work on making India the world’s largest green hydrogen hub. We are answerable to future generations when they ask what was done by the people whose responsibility it was to give direction to the world when it was time to take decisions. Today the world faces an increased threat of regressive thinking and extremism. In such a situation, the entire world must make scientific, rational and progressive thinking the basis for development.
