The government has also taken steps to promote sustainable living by launching initiatives such as the "Swachh Bharat Abhiyan" and the "National Clean Energy Mission". According to officials, these initiatives aim to reduce India's reliance on fossil fuels and increase the use of renewable energy sources, with a target of achieving 100 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 Source 3.
