As you know, for hundreds of years the whole world has been dependent on fossil fuels like coal, petrol and diesel. Due to which the temperature is continuously increasing and the climate is changing. In such a situation, if the sources of energy are not changed soon, the climate will change completely. We will have to adopt solar energy, biomass and geothermal energy by promoting it soon. India has also expressed its commitment to add 500 gigawatts of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. India ranks third in the world in terms of electricity generation (440 GW) and the transmission system is also better than many countries. However, our distribution system needs improvement and for this reason the Ministry is providing financial assistance through the RDSS scheme.
