This path is Mission Life i.e. Lifestyle for Environment. This mission shows the way for Pro planet people."

"India has today established itself as a trusted partner for the welfare of the human race due to global efforts being made to tackle the threat of climate change," he further stated in his address.

"Today our country is emerging as the vanguard of climate justice. The balance between development and environment is an important part of our tradition which we are making as the strength of Atmanirbhar Bharat," PM Modi added in his message to the nation.

The Prime Minister issued a clarion call to every citizen, urging them to play an active role in maintaining the equilibrium of water, air, and land. He emphasized, "If every citizen of the country makes a conscious effort to maintain the balance of water, air, and land, then we will be able to provide a safe environment to our future generations."

As we commemorate Earth Day, PM Modi's words serve as a poignant reminder of the urgent need to prioritize environmental conservation. India's commitment to Mission Life epitomizes a vision where humanity coexists harmoniously with nature, ensuring a sustainable legacy for generations to come.
