The Hindu : Sci-Tech / Energy & Environment : NGO conference on mitigating climate change in India
One of the main speakers, P.V. Indiresan, argued that although the Government of India promoted inclusive growth through the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and waivers of farm loans, there was a risk that the resultant increase in incomes may vanish if the schemes were withdrawn.
Reflecting a new impetus for work in the area of climate change by non-governmental organisations, the India Development Coalition of America (IDCA), a network of non-profit organisations based in the United States, held a regional conference here on the mitigation of climate change and inclusive development in India.
