In the question below, are given a statement followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow (s) for pursuing. Statement: With one year to go for 2019 parliamentary elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stepped in to ensure results can be seen on the ground. The Centre has asked states to focus on impactful and public-private-partnership based smart city projects, which would show results over the next one year and have a review mechanism in place. Ministry of housing and urban affairs, the nodal ministry for Smart Cities Mission has identified 261 impactful ventures worth Rs. 31,000 crore and PPP projects worth Rs. 32,000 crore for the states to work on. Courses of Action: I. The move follows directives from the Prime Minister. During a review of Smart Cities mission last week, PM Modi had emphasized on early implementation of projects and suggested that the chief secretaries of all states should review the progress of the implementation. II. These identified projects account for an investment of Rs. 31,112 crore. The states have also been asked to work on 370 PPP projects that involve an investment of Rs. 32,410 crore The impactful projects identified range from building 40 outdoor fitness centres in New Delhi Municipal Council area at a cost of Rs. 1.31 crore to redevelopment of 340 acre area in Bhopal at a cost of Rs. 3,000 crore.  III. Secretary (housing and urban affairs) D. S. Mishra has written to chief secretaries of states and asked them to focus on the belated implementation of smart city projects that have a visible and transformative impact in the lives of citizens in identified smart cities.

The rest of the sentences are numbered as B, C, D, ad E, which are not in proper order. Read the sentences and place them in chronological order. National Solar Mission is one of the eight missions set up of National Action Plan on Climate change (NAPCC) that was released on 30 June 2008. With this ambitious target, India will become one of the largest Green Energy producers in the world, surpassing several developed countries. Government stepped up India’s solar power capacity target under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM), by five times, reaching 1,00,000 MW by 2022. The target will principally comprise 40 GW Rooftop and 60 GW through Large and Medium Scale Grid Connected Solar Power Projects. The new targets were approved in June 2015. During recent times with improvement in technology and scaling up production capacities, solar energy has become cost-competitive and targets seem to be more viable now.

Modern civilization is completely dependent on energy, which has therefore to be abundant and also economical. About 85% of the world's energy is supplied by oil, coal and natural gas while nuclear, hydro, wind and solar power and biomass supply the rest. Coal, nuclear and hydro are used primarily to generate electricity while natural gas is widely used for heating. Biomass is used both for heating and cooking. The wind and solar power is the future's hope as they are sustainable energy sources. Oil powers almost all machines that move and that makes oil uniquely versatile. Oil powered airplanes carry 500 people across the widest oceans at nearly the speed of sound. Oil powered machines produce and transport food. Oil powered machines are ubiquitous. Clearly, we live in the age of oil but it is drawing to a close. According to data available if oil production remains constant until it's gone, there is enough to last 42 years. Oil wells will produce less as they become depleted, which will make it impossible to keep production constant. Similarly natural gas and coal will last another 61 years and 133 years respectively. Naturally, as they become scarce, they become expensive, leading to a worldwide energy crisis. If we are to survive on this planet, we have to make a transition to sustainable energy sources. The transition may be willy-nilly or planned - the choice is ours. The dawning era of limited and expensive energy will be very difficult for everyone on earth but will be even more difficult if it is not anticipated. It is of utmost importance that the public and policymakers understand the global energy crisis and act in tandem to ensure that the species 'homo sapiens' does not become extinct.
