Now green clearance online: Prakash Javadekar

Javadekar, who also handles the Climate Change portfolio, said India (a developing country) should not be potrayed as a “villian” in the debate on climate change but should instead provide new dimensions to the discourse.

“The world has always provided a vocabulary (on climate change) and we have reacted. We will provide a new vocabulary to which the world will react and we will take the discourse to a new height because we bother about climate change. We will work by keeping energy efficiency as the central theme.”

He emphasised on better interaction between his ministry and people and said “we will be meeting the public more often at different places”.
