Emphasising an eco-friendly lifestyle and nature conservation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his monthly radio broadcast Mann Ki Baat on Sunday, said that sensitivity towards the environment is inherent to Indian society.
In the 94th episode of his Mann Ki Baat, the Prime Minister said, “Sensitivity towards the environment is embedded in every particle of our society and we can feel it all around us. There is no dearth of people in this country who spend a lifetime in the protection of the environment. “
The Prime Minister mentioned Tripura’s Bio Village, which emphasises how to minimise the damage caused by natural disasters and improve the quality of life of its people through various measures.
He said, “You must have heard about Bio-Village, but some villages in Tripura have ascended to the level of Bio-Village 2. There is a complete focus on solar energy, biogas, beekeeping, and biofertilizers. Overall, Bio-Village 2 is going to lend a lot of strength to the campaign against climate change. “
He further said that today, more awareness is being seen among people about eco-friendly living and eco-friendly products than ever before.
PM Modi shared the story of a team of tribal women in Anaikatti, Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu. These women crafted 10,000 eco-friendly terracotta tea cups for export. The amazing thing is that these women themselves took up the entire responsibility of making the terracotta tea cups. “From clay mixing to final packaging, they did all the work themselves,” he said. PM Modi then mentioned an environmentalist from Bengaluru, Suresh Kumar.
