Development of Sustainable Energy in India: Steps to be Taken

Abstract

Sustainable energy is the energy that meets the needs of the present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, source that renew themselves, rather than sources that can be depleted such as Wind, Solar, Water, Bio-energy and geo- thermal energy etc. Usage of sustainable energy will not only decrease the energy crisis but also help to better the climatic and environmental conditions. The dedication to promote sustainable energy requires supportive policy and legislative framework. The Indian government is taking certain initiatives relating to energy sector particularly in order to develop renewable energy resources. This approach towards the development of verticals of sustainable energy is very encouraging. The steady and systematic development of non- conventional energy resources will give fruitful results for securing the better future. One of the main reasons for exploring the non- conventional energy resources or sustainable energy resources, because these resources are environmentally as well as economically sustainable by comparison with the conventional energy resources. The research paper will trace the development of sustainable energy in India, explores the provisions of renewable energy sources and concentrates on developing the idea of sustainable energy in comparison to other existed resources. In conclusion, it highlights what kind of paradigm shift would be required to be strengthened legal as well as policy making for securing better future in the field of sustainable energy.
