PM Modi inaugurates World Sustainable Environment Summit
New Delhi, Feb 16 (IBNS) : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said India is committed to protecting environment as much as it believes in development.
Speaking at the inauguration of the three-day World Sustainable Development Summit, Modi said respect for nature is an "integral part of our value system" and the country has a history and tradition of "congruous" existence between man and nature.
"We consider Earth our mother. India believes in growth but is also committed to protect the environment," he said.
"This planet, our Mother Earth, is one. So we should rise above our trivial differences and act as one to save her," the PM said.
Underscoring the need to address the major environmental problems plaguing the developing nations, Modi any effective action needs access to financial resources and technology. Technology can help poor to benefit from it, he added.
The Prime Minister also raised concerns about the issue of water availability and asserted his commitment to ensure that no farm goes without water.
