Modi screens Gore film for his officials

An Inconvenient Truth - former US Vice-President Al Gore's documentary on climate change that took him to the Nobel Prize last year, has impressed Chief Minister Narendra Modi so much that he made top state bureaucracy watch it at his official residence this Monday. The occasion was a dinner hosted by Modi during the two-day brainstorming session on effective implementation of the 2008-09 Annual Budget. Present during the screening were all secretaries, district collectors, municipal commissioners and district development officers.
