A Review on Need of Adopting Renewable Energy in India
Abstract
India became the world 3rd largest producer and 3rd largest consumer of electricity. The rapid increase in energy consumption in the present scenario and is moving fast towards the development of civilization.[1] Today we are dependent on fossil fuels to power our homes and to fuel our vehicles and mostly we are using the fossil fuels as a primarily heating medium. The huge consumption of fossil fuels has caused a severe damage to our environment and also these resources are limited and expensive but we are only seeing our convenience as we all know it very easy to use coal, oil & natural gas for meeting our requirements. To meet the crisis of energy in India it has been experienced to renewable sources like wind energy, geothermal energy, solar energy, tidal energy, bio-gas energy, etc. In this paper we have initiated to study about the renewable energy resources of the country. [4] In this research paper we have identified the utilization of renewable sources and their benefits to prevent our environment from the pollution created by the fossil fuels.

Introduction
In this era of competitiveness every country of this world wants to be in the forefront of developed countries by their intensive growth and generation of employment in its country. Due to the ecological disequilibrium caused by the rapid growth in industrial sector and also due to the growth in population the demand of energy has been increased which we can’t be unhide & that results in the emission of immense amount of carbon. For a vast and highly populated country like India. We stand 6th in the entire world in phase of energy consumption & the dependency on single resources to meet the energy requirement of all the country is not a good idea. So India has to incorporate a non-carbon emitting resource which has became an integral part to maintain continuality and to decrease the burden on fossil fuels reserves. Also due to the huge consumption of fossil fuels it has created a lot of environment problems and which disturbs our ecological cycle.[3] So now its high time and we all have to focus on the generation of clean energy and the renewable energy has an potential for fulfilling the energy requirement of India but it is totally dependent on the effective generation and consumption of energy. In the present scenario Indian govt. is giving their full support to the renewable energy generation and soon we will be the work leader in terms of promoting and using of renewable energy. India is the largest consumer of fossil fuels like coal, petroleum, oil etc. This unmanageable growth in the usage of non-renewable energies like fossil fuels, natural gas, oil etc. has been led to an variation of demands & supplies of these fuels.[6] This will affect the uncertainty of future scope of nonrenewable energies and this will results the nation to acquire the energy from other countries to attain the need of our country. So we have to adopt the culture of using renewable energy resources so that we can accelerate the enlargement of our energy sector in country and we can meet our requirements.
Conclusion
After viewing the present scenario od India, it has been cleared that the renewable sources are cost effective, user friendly and can easily beat the fossil fuels. Due to the inconsistency in energy distribution, renewable energy has the capability to became the foundation for fulfilling the country’s future energy requirement. As these sources will remove the dependency of using the natural resources like coal, oil, gas etc. However there is also a great crash on the economic development of the country through the use of renewable energy as it can reduce the level of unemployment and give chance for improving our employment status. We all know thanks to our excessive growth within the population we face energy crisis as many parts of India are still surviving without electricity in their areas hence we are able to use the renewable energy as an panacea to the issues. But the growth of renewable energy sector is inhibiting due to the unavailability of capital. Future growth in renewable energy requires new technologies, favorable policies backed by innovative financing schemes. This paper is largely for all the stakeholders & government to require charge and discuss the program that favors renewable energy deployment. The Indian government should increase the financial backing within the sector of renewable energy in several styles of ways which incorporates the funds for demonstration projects. This is often only an summary which might help all people to encourage the utilization of renewable energy in a very more rapid & extensively way for the higher development of the country.
