Why Renewable Energy is important?
Akshay Urja Diwas is an awareness campaign about the development of renewable energy in India. The most advantage of using renewable sources of energy is that they are renewable. Hence they can be used without the fear of depletion. Further, increased dependence on renewable sources would mean decreased dependence on non-renewable sources like coal and fossil oil. This in-turn will not only result in prevention of natural resources but also will decrease political and economical conflicts and even wars over owning these sources.
