Over the years, we have worked tirelessly to create every necessary environment for it.”
The Prime Minister urged the gathering to work for the earth. He elaborated that ‘E’ means prosperity of the environment. He also urged them to discuss how they can support the efforts to build at least 75 Amrit Sarovar in every district by August 15 next year. ‘A’ means to make agriculture more profitable and invest more in natural farming, agricultural technology and the food processing sector. The ‘R’ stands for Recycling and Reusing, Reducing and Working towards Recycling with an emphasis on cyclical economy. ‘T’ means to take technology to as many people as possible. He urged the audience to consider how they can make other advanced technology like drone technology more accessible. ‘H’ means health, he said that today the government is doing a lot of work for health care, and medical colleges in every district of the country.
