NAINITAL/RUDRAPUR: On the occasion of World Environment Day, chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami held a video-conferencing session with forest authorities and all 13 district magistrates. At the meeting, the CM asked authorities to assess the state's Gross Environment Product (GEP) at regular intervals.
GEP tells the total economic value of all products and services that the ecosystem provides for sustainable development. The GEP tells the state of air, soil and water. With a focus on sustainable development, the CM said that GDP and GEP should run parallel to each other.
