Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that environmental conservation is essential for a better future. For the same, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made "One Earth, One Family and One Future" as the topic of deliberations in G-20. Progress with nature should be our mantra. Actually this is the mantra to save the world.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that today love is needed, not struggle. Adopt those also who are weaker than us.
There should be no blind competition. It is unfortunate that only a few people utilise most of the world's resources, this earth belongs to all of us. The whole world is one family. The contemplation sessions of the Think 20 meeting under the G-20 in Bhopal will play a critical role. Certainly nectar will emerge from brainstorming of the intellectuals and thinkers who will participate in this programme.
Chouhan was addressing the inaugural session of Think 20 meeting under G-20 at Kushabhau Thakre International Convention Centre. Chouhan and other guests inaugurated the inaugural session of the meeting by lighting the lamp. The two-day meeting is focused on mutual co-operation for global govenance with life value and well-being.
The Chief Minister said that Atithi Devo Bhava (guest is like god) is the tradition of India. Prime Minister Modi is rich in amazing leadership qualities. He has enhanced the prestige of India. Getting the chairmanship of G-20 is an achievement of India. In our country, since ancient times, there has been a belief that the whole world is like one family. A huge statue of Adi Shakracharya Acharya Shankar and International Advaita Sansthan are being established under Ekatm Dham in Omkareshwar.
Chouhan said that today the whole world needs to unite. The existence of animals and birds along with humans is also imperitive. Many species of animals are going extinct. With the efforts of Prime Minister Modi, cheetahs have been brought from Namibia and settled in Madhya Pradesh. Madhya Pradesh was known for tigers, leopards, vultures and gharials.
Now Madhya Pradesh has also become a Cheetah State. Chouhan apprised the delegates about the unique wildlife wealth of Madhya Pradesh.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that today small measures can help in saving the environment. If we include tree planting in our practice, it will be a huge contribution to the earth. Chief Minister Chouhan cited the successful implementation of save electricity, water conservation, environmental conservation, use of renewable energy, Beti Bachao Abhiyan and Ladli Laxmi Yojana in Madhya Pradesh.
Chouhan said that the significance of green energy is increasing. Initiative has also been taken to produce solar energy through the water wealth of dams. Four and a half lakh water structures have been constructed in the state through the Jalabhishek Abhiyan.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that Prime Minister Shri Modi is determined to make full use of water by calling for "per drop more crop". India is progressively developing under his leadership. He has set various goals for the coming years. He has given the mantra of Panchamrit.
These mainly include the use of renewable energy and the goal of reducing carbon emissions as well as building a strong economy. In COP-26, he had said that India would achieve the goal of net zero emissions by the year 2070. By the year 2030, India will almost halve the carbon intensity of its economy. Similarly, India's position in renewable energy is fourth in the world, it will improve as well. The principle of One Earth, One Family and One Future is important.
