He stated that it was possible only because of continuous support from Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and the State government.

He said that keeping in view of sustainable future, many programmes were being undertaken to reduce the usage of carbon emissions. He added that Telangana has achieved the honor of being the first state in the country to include the Energy Conservation Building Code in the Municipal Act. Steps were being taken from the building construction stage to reduce electricity consumption, he stated.

Also, lights and fans that consume a lot of electricity have been removed in most of the government owned properties such as government hospitals, post offices, police stations, schools etc and are now replaced with LED lights and fans that work with less electricity, he explained.

Smart LED street lighting program was underway across all the villages in the state, he said.
