For the economic development of our country, one thing that is undeniably necessary is energy. Energy is required to run agriculture, industries, and transportation. Conserving energy and producing it sustainably thus becomes the need of the hour. The contribution of fossil fuels in India's energy mix is around 74%. Hence, measures should be taken to use them economically. Harnessing alternative energies and resources is imperative. It is time to use more renewable energy resources to meet our needs. On an individual level, steps as simple as switching off the lights when not in use, sharing a ride, or using public transportation can go a long way.
