With rise in the use of renewable energy, its cost of installation is coming down very rapidly, the post-COVID19 development packages must be spent on building sustainable power systems with more renewable energy plants… - P.K Chatterjee
Make Our Bank A Green Building
Mahatma Gandhi, father of nation and founder of Union bank of India once told – Mother Earth will Provide Every Thing for Human Need but not Greed. Fast depletion of resources like fossil fuels, ore coupled by exponential population growth and aspiration for higher quality of life will slowly make earth – warm, highly polluted, having no minerals or fossil energy resources. So to save this planet from resource crunch – one of the answer is Green Building. - Dr Shivaji Biswas
