Sustainable practices adopted in space offer lessons for NE states in renewable energy: Shukla

In a recent discussion, Dr. Shukla highlighted the innovative sustainable practices implemented in the space sector, emphasizing their potential applicability to the renewable energy strategies in India’s Northeast states. He pointed out that the unique environmental challenges faced by these states, such as their diverse topography and climate, necessitate tailored approaches to energy production and sustainability. By adopting technology and methodologies used in space exploration, such as efficient resource management and renewable energy systems, the Northeast can enhance its energy independence and reduce its carbon footprint. Dr. Shukla advocates for collaboration between space agencies and local governments to develop these sustainable frameworks, which could significantly contribute to the region's economic growth and environmental preservation. The insights from space technology not only promise to address energy needs but also to inspire innovative solutions to other pressing challenges in the Northeast, positioning these states as leaders in renewable energy development in India.
