Imphal, November 18 2022:
Dr Robindro Lairenlakpam (principal scientist, CSIR-IIP, Dehradun), one of the well-known scientists in the zero fuel and emission transport and energy system of India, will be representing the country in the India-France Bilateral Collaboration for Scientific Programme, to be held in France.
Dr Robindro was invited by the French Embassy in India to attend the week-long research programme.
He will leave for France on November 20 and participate in the research with French scientists on future intelligent transport and energy system for non-fossil fuel and zero-emission.
Speaking to The People's Chronicle in this regard from Dehradun, Dr Robindro expressed belief that the scientific research programme would help in gaining new knowledge on sustainable ecosystem, which in turn would greatly benefit the country.
With regard to Manipur's situation, he stressed the need for focussing on producing electricity from renewable energy without using coal or fossil fuel and also reducing the usage of petrol of diesel as soon as possible.
The world is already making significant stride towards realisation of zero-emission goal and even India is paying close attention to the same.
Manipur must make crucial efforts beforehand to attain India's target of net-zero by 2070.For this, the state government, authorities and institutes concerned need to guide the youth properly, which will, in turn, not only help in generation of jobs but also help in improving the state's economy, he suggested.
It may be mentioned here that Dr Robindro Lairenlakpam had recently taken on the role of event director of a workshop on electric vehicle, organised jointly by Manipur Transport Department and CSIR Dehradun at City Convention, here.
