This will be accomplished by facilitating the adaption of international standards and business practices on resource efficiency. It seeks to achieve this through activities and measures focused around three result areas viz: (R1): Assessment of India’s current and future needs for resources; (R2): Partnerships established between European and Indian businesses and stakeholders on resource efficiency; and (R3): Awareness is raised on the need for resource efficient approaches in India among key government and non-governmental organizations, business, students, media and the general public through promotion of standards and business best-practices on resource
