After his Swachh Bharat initiative, Prime Minister Narendra Modi now wants to curb single-use plastic in a phased manner and eventually eliminate it by 2022.
With his govt's different approach to Kashmir, a spirit of "one nation, one constitution" has become reality, said PM Modi while giving his Independence Day speech at Red Fort.
Modi's speeches over last 5 years covered govt plans and achievements — from Swacch Bharat and Jan Dhan Yojana to Kashmir outreach and surgical strikes.
From his first Red Fort look to today, Modi has been front, centre and flashy. Here’s a look at the most anticipated part of his swatantrata stylebook.
One has to be incredibly credulous to buy BJP spin masters’ argument that the government got rid of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar for harmonious relationship with the judiciary.
Modi government had also made numerous efforts to establish peace with Pakistan but has now adopted a different path, militarily, to establish peace, adds defence minister.
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
Just like the responsibility of garbage collection lies with the local civic authorities, the responsibility of encouraging recycling also lies with them. It would be practical for the government to encourage private enterprise to set up specialised recycling units, and urge the civic authorities to sell the recyclable material at throwaway price. In fact the whole collection-disposal-recycling should be privatised with civic authorities just making sure the parties perform and public becomes aware.
The message is loud and clear that we must cut down use of plastic and start using reusables, so that the use and throw practice is drastically minimised. Surely, more innovative and eco-friendly materials that can be recycled and finally, disposed of without causing harm to air, water, soil need to be promoted to replace plastic. It is a shared responsibility of both the manufacturers and users. In a demand driven economy as we are today, users can play a major role in cutting down use of plastic.
The manufacturing of plastics should be stopped in phased manner with simultaneous making alternatives available. Sudden ban of anything will collapse the economy like the De-Mo did,
It is not practical / feasible to ban the use of such a universally important product without affordable alternatives being available. It would have led to the chaos of Demonetisation without new currency having been printed. Individuals should be sensitised to make suitable changes in their consumption patterns to at least substantially reduce the use of SUP.
