Abstract:
The progress of a nation depends upon its power to supply energy to the country and its ability to meet the crises of other countries. The development of a country also depends upon its capability to protect the planet from environmental pollution and degradation caused by the activities carried out in the country itself. This paper aims to find how far India has progressed and what the prospects are for India with respect to the use of renewable energy resources. The paper also attempts to find how India has been taking measures to control and resist environmental pollution by shifting towards environmental pollution. The paper highlights the merits and demerits of renewable energy sources and the challenges to be met for proper utilization of renewable energy sources and advancement in the country’s future developmental projects. The goals adopted to enhance the future development of India with the help of renewable energy sources have been brought to light. The move towards a green revolution, marked by keeping the utility of renewable energy in tune with the preservation of human health and the nation’s natural green strategy, has been focused on in this paper.
