GREENE is a campaign across India that was started under the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY) in association with the Manufacturers Association of Information Technology (MAIT) to create awareness among people, industry participants, and the youth on the aspect of e-waste responsible disposal and sustainable recycling.
Water scarcity is a threat to national growth in many aspects - The Technology Mission Programme on Water and Clean Energy (TMPWCE) - launched by India’s Department of Science and Technology (DST), aims to ensure water and energy security through science-led innovation. The programme's vision is to holistically transform science and technology breakthroughs to fight contemporary challenges around water scarcity promoting reneawble energy.A mission that is focused on building an ecosystem that is agile for a suitable S&T ecosystem economically, socially, and environmentally viable in terms of providing solutions.
The dream of a clean energy world is compelling. Sun-drenched solar farms and silent electric vehicles symbolize a sustainable future. This global energy transition away from fossil fuels is well underway. But as we race towards this greener tomorrow, are we considering the new geopolitical fault lines and hidden complexities emerging today?
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) initiated the "Programme on Energy from Urban, Industrial, and Agricultural Wastes and Residues" under Phase-I of the National Bioenergy Programme (2021–2026). This initiative is more than just waste management; it implies a mindful transition towards a circular economy by leveraging the practice of waste converted into renewable energy sources, minimizing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and encouraging decentralized clean energy systems.
The Climate crisis is obviously real, and it is a massive politically driven crisis. Every degree of warming, every single emission, and every polluted land, water, and air can be traced back to political decisions made. Climate change is not an accident, it is a direct result of economic plans, major policies, and environmental deregulations that favor short-term gains over long-term sustainability.
Sustainability in architecture is often framed through high- tech solutions and institutional interventions, yet one of the most effective models exists in the unplanned spaces of Dharavi. This dense, self- organized settlement operates on a remarkable circular economy, where waste is repurposed, materials are reused, and architecture evolves in response to necessity. Despite its efficiency, formal urban systems often dismiss these practices as informal, failing to recognize their potential for scalable impact.
Nagavarshini M India contributes approximately 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions while housing 17% of the world’s population. It faces the dual challenge of sustaining robust economic growth while dramatically reducing its carbon footprint. India’s decarbonization policy framework represents one…
