                      GREEN GROWTH


              The concept of  green growth  aims  at achieving economic  growth that is  socially  inclusive and  environmentally
              sustainable. The Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change, Government of India recognized green growth
              in its vision, wherein 'poverty eradication' along with green growth is to be seen as the focal point for green economy.
              The Finance Commission of India articulated green growth as involving "rethinking growth strategies with regard
              to their impacts on environmental sustainability and the environmental resources available to poor and vulnerable
              groups." The extent to which its economy will "grow green" will depend on its ability to reduce the quantity of resources
              required over time to support economic growth that leads to enhancement of social equity and job creation. Green
              growth could play an important role in balancing these priorities. To ensure sustainable development, any activity that
              is expected to bring about economic growth must also consider its environmental impacts so that it is more consistent
              with long term growth and development. This means vehicles on the road which leads to traffic congestion, waste of
              time for all the commuters, and a great load of particulate matter and carbon monoxide from the exhaust of vehicles
              should be slowly replaced with an efficient public transport system.
