In a virtual address for Rotary’s 113th annual international convention in Houston on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi discussed the importance of sustainable development and underlined the ethos of staying in harmony with nature. The event is being held from June 4 to 8.

India is among the largest and fastest-growing startup ecosystems in the world…we in India remain open to learning from global best practices and sharing ours with others, PM Modi said.

India’s commitment on net zero by 2070 was appreciated by the world community, he said. “I’m glad that Rotary Int’l is actively working on providing clean drinking water, sanitation and hygiene,” he said in a statement, adding that 1.4 billion Indians are taking every possible step to make the Earth cleaner and greener during his address at Rotary International Convention 2022.
