With India's Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC), the country is keen to attempt to work towards a low carbon emission pathway, while simultaneously endeavouring to meet all the developmental challenges that the country faces today. The INDC aims at promoting clean energy, especially renewable energy, enhancement of energy efficiency, development of less carbon intensive and resilient urban centres, promotion of waste to wealth, safe, smart and sustainable green transportation network, abatement of pollution and India’s efforts to enhance carbon sink through creation of forest and tree cover.

• Reduce Emission intensity of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
• Increase the Share of Non Fossil Fuel Based Electricity
• Enhancing Carbon Sink (Forests)
• Adaptation
• Mobilizing Finance
• Technology Transfer and Capacity Building

Selected ideas and names would also be mentioned by the Hon. Minister and other experts during the MyGov Talk.

For eg., In Andhra Pradesh, every year ~6,00,000 students join high school that is equivalent to ~10, 000 acres of forest (long life trees are 50 to 60 per acre) and in 10 years it will be 60,00,000 – A huge number by any standard ! At the country level, the numbers will be staggering!! My current status and address Currently, I am in the final year of my Ph.D degree, pursuing from IITB (India)-Monash (Australia) Research Academy, IIT Bombay, Mumbai. nareshmse@gmail.com 09820725765

In brief, the idea is to make each and every sixth class student plant a sapling as part of their Science subject practical/project. After plantation, every month, the student has to submit the e-assignment (paper free assignment) to the respective Science teacher through mails or copy to teacher’s computer. Finally, at the end of their schooling (10th std), grades will be allotted depending on the well being and growth of the tree and eventually every student will be BLESSED with a tree.

The objective of this mission is “to create a green sustainable society with the help of schools for better social life” – Lessons taught in schools remain with the students forever- schools will no longer be just for knowledge transfer, but also to realize our social responsibilities.

Respected Sir, I would like to share one idea for the fast and controlled growth of trees in the country. To the best of my knowledge, this mission is not implemented by any state or any country for the growth of trees. The mission is called ONE STUDENT-ONE TREE REVOLUTION FOR GREEN BHARAT.

Kind suggestion I think the major problem of present scenario is the waste management. As we see in every city that open waste, drainage problem is major. Also use of plastics are very high. One should avoid using it, as it is banned in chhattisgarh, it should be banned in all country and the renewable sources of energy should be encouraged.

Also while we have large scale of disposal of electronics we should create small factories that can re build this for the use in rural areas where computing requirements are not that high, we can create a cloud of this disposal and we can leverage the cloud from re-using for the digital India, re-use and optimize..

Respected Sir While the scale and density of operations that we have in India, putting a ban on objects that does not help envt. I guess we should work on creating small areas which can help re-cycle and create a process around it, again with the scale of population we might have to start this in small pockets creating areas for this pockets, recycling the pockets and moving upscale from there. Also we should see who foreign dumping that we are doing in our country we might want to restrict it.

Suggestion :- 1) Using more renewable energy. 2) Planting more trees. 3) Public awareness about renewable energy and non-renewable energy. 4) Technology help for easy use of renewable energy like solar panels. 5) Increasing the share of fossil fuels.
