India is one of the leaders in sustainable development and clean energy. With the Hon PM Narendra Modi-led government’s reform-oriented, environment-friendly policies, the country has time & again shown that sound environmental policies can pave the way to a sound economy.

At the UN Climate Change Conference COP26 in 2021, PM Shri Narendra Modi announced the ‘LiFE’, a mission to bring individual behavioural change at the forefront of the global climate action narrative. LIFE or Lifestyle for Environment along with the ‘Pro Planet People’ movement, aims to strengthen the efforts to overcome climate change.

LiFE will replace the prevailing 'use-and-throw’ thinking with an environmentally conscious lifestyle. The Mission is to create a global community of ‘Pro-Planet People’ (P3), who with their shared commitment will adopt and promote environmentally friendly lifestyles.

Individual Efforts Are Key to Climate Commitment

India's traditional knowledge strongly positions it to lead the narrative of addressing climate change. Like many other mass movements, LiFE aims to inspire climate action based on the mantra of ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas’.

MyGov invites you to share your ideas and suggestions on how to adapt to an environmentally conscious lifestyle.

1. Reduce
2. Reuse
3. Recycle
4. Renewable
5. Recover
6. Re-design
7. Re-manufacture

Few examples for the above:
Reduce - Electricity, Fuel Usage
Reuse - Old Clothes, Electronics, Building materials, furniture
Recycle - Plastic, newspapers, cartons, boxes
Renewable - Solar, Wind, Hydro, Tidal, Geothermal & Biomass
Recover - Forests, rivers, soil, mountains, wildlife
Redesign - Green buildings
Remanufacture - E-waste for new purposes

Our civilisational values have taught us the importance of living in harmony with nature. Today, let’s come together to protect our environment & take forward Mission LiFE - Lifestyle for Environment.

Plant more trees and care your surrounding natural beauty is mandatory. nowadays environmental friendly products becoming premium products. you take organic food, milk, jute bags, cotton garments etc. hence difficult to cover larger population which results into increase in usages of non bio digradable products. Hence, we need to find ways to bring eco friendly products can reach to larger population. and hence will help to spread environmental awareness.

महामारी, टूटती सप्लाई चेन, कामगारों का असमंजस एवं बढ़ती महंगाई जैसी चुनौतियां विश्व आर्थिकी पर गहरा संकट बनकर छाई हुई हैं। ऐसे में संयुक्त राष्ट्र ने चिंता जताई कि बढ़ता राजनीतिक गतिरोध अर्थव्यवस्था में सुधार के मार्ग का सबसे बड़ा रोड़ा बना हुआ है।

There are ways to implement the best practices in construction sector. Green building concept can be widened from IGBC and Griha to even more wider areas. But the problem persists- if govt is trying to rope in fresh young brains but the irony is that they have to deal with obsolete IAS officers who have fixed mind set and their ego stops them to adopt new concepts. Please get away with such obsolete officers for growth of our country

Cont'd---The R7 concept is the future & when we work within this framework we will be benefited a lot. R1 Reduce electrical energy. We are using LED bulbs which is energy efficient without heat loss.We need to have reflecting paint colors to reduce indoor wattage. Large windows in proper direction for more day light during construction stage itself. Reducing cost of polycarbonate roofing sheets to encourage liberal use to avoid bulbs during day time in industrial and other large facilities including providing North light concept. Providing insulated walls for air-conditioning. Or new generation sleeping mattress for homes with cooling circuit with lesser wattage to avoid room air conditioning. New generation ceiling fans with permanent magnets PMSM to conserve energy. Subsidizing price of luminous flux meters for liberal use in work places and other facilities for optimum illumination and conservation. These meters should be made available to all electrical contractors to implement.

If we create genetically modified Ornamental species used as a light, we reduce expenses of electricity at night and also helpful in safe driving when roadside grow light producing plants. In a firefly, on the other hand, nearly 100% of the energy is given off as light. That luminescence, or "cold light," as it's also called, is produced in the light cells and then focused by a layer of reflector cells, which direct that beam outward through that translucent exoskeleton.🙏

The British gave us education to meet the present world requirements. Most of the older knowledge from the oldest civilization was lost to some extent. We too are gifted with high thinking capacity. With such large population we have only 12 noble prizes out of which 5 were living in India. With one in science by C.V Raman rest were in foreign lands.Poverty after independence & focus has curtailed development. Any R&D needs funds to be generated with high productivity & profitability. The funding for R&D in developed countries is large keeping in mind the world market. They were organizing continuously trade fairs to attract the world with new technological advances.This created tourism too.The R7 concept is the future & when we work within this framework we will be benefited a lot. R1 Reduce electrical energy.

Organic farming is in a nascent stage in India having only 2% land under cultivation. Half of it in Madhya Pradesh. Punjab uses 10 times more chemical fertilizer than National average. Modi ji 25% of USA land is under organic farming so India should keep the goal of crossing 10% by 2025. Also need to have a special law to accomplish the objective of maintaining peace and harmony in Society and any activity, be it spoken words, conduct, dealings leading or resulting in disturbing peace and harmony should be subjected to penal provisions including withdrawal of all govt benefits, and if activity is found to be anti India, such persons be subjected to withdrawal of voting right. Discipline and honestly need to be appreciated and given encouragement by giving incentives and indiscipline and dishonesty be subjected to various discentives in a graded manner.
