India and the World Bank today agreed to further strengthen their partnership to advance India’s green-growth agenda at a meeting today between Minister of State for Environment & Forests (Independent Charge) Jairam Ramesh, and World Bank Group President Robert B. Zoellick.
Welcoming the discussions, Mr Ramesh noted, “Our Government is clear about the need to reflect and factor in ecological concerns into our growth process so that the benefits of growth can be achieved without critically straining the environment. Our projects supported by the World Bank specifically address our most compelling environmental concerns, including river cleaning and conserving our biodiversity. We are also working at strengthening our environmental regulators as a probable area of future engagement.”
