Open in App
Solution

There is a pressing need to use renewable energy resources in India because:

1) The conventional sources of energy are at the extent of getting exhausted and there is a need for alternative sources i.e. renewable sources of energy to sustain development.

2) The economic development plans implemented by government require steady and increasing amount of energy to remain optional.

3) The consumption of energy in all forms is steadily rising and is growing at a faster rate than the formation of the resources such as coal, petroleum etc.

4) The environment is getting harmed a lot due to the smoke and pollution produced by the non-renewable resources.

5) The renewable sources are needed to compensate the needs and preserve the environment as they are 'Eco-friendly ' in nature and are inexhaustible.

Some examples of renewable sources of energy are solar energy,wind energy etc.
