PM Modi also informed that the member countries of the organization have created BRICS Digital Center of Excellence for smart grids and energy storage. This will make clean energy reliable, efficient and accessible to all. Centers of Excellence in Agro Ecology and Regenerative Agriculture will link traditional knowledge with modern science. At the same time, the principles developed for community-based climate adaptation will make indigenous knowledge an important basis for climate action. By moving forward on these four pillars, we have tried to promote inclusive global growth through BRICS.

PM Modi said that nature has been given the status of mother in Indian civilization. For centuries we have believed that development and environment are not substitutes for each other, but are complementary. In BRICS also we emphasized on the balance between human development and environment. This is the basis of sustainability and also our responsibility towards future generations.
