Yojna Gusai NEW DELHI GROWING INTERNATIONAL pressure to cut down its overall greenhouse gas emissions led India to come up with a roadmap detailing ways and means to mitigate the effects of climate change. The National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) was released in June 2008, a year after it was announced. The action plan addresses eight specific areas, including the optimum utilisation of solar energy instead of fossil fuels like coal in the national energy grid. Using recycled materials and designing buildings which are more airy and use solar energy, is also part of the action plan. Tapping solar energy for power generation is a highlight of the action plan. The national action plan aims that by 2017, most of the households in urban areas, industries and commercial establishments should start utilising solar power
