New Delhi, April 26: Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized India’s achievements in the renewable energy sector during the latest episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on Sunday. He described these accomplishments as a powerful symbol of the nation’s collective will and commitment to a sustainable future.
During the program, PM Modi announced that India has reached a significant milestone by installing 6 gigawatts of new wind energy in just one year, attracting international attention to the country’s efforts.
He noted that India now ranks fourth globally in total wind energy capacity. This achievement is not merely a technical success but a strong representation of the nation’s collective determination and commitment to a sustainable future.
According to the Prime Minister, the rapid progress in this sector is evidence of both the government’s and citizens’ efforts towards a green economy. Key states like Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan are leading this energy revolution.
PM Modi specifically highlighted the transformation of Gujarat’s desert regions, including Kutch, Patan, and Banaskantha. Once known for their vast barren lands, these areas have now become hubs for large-scale renewable energy projects. This shift has turned geographical challenges into economic opportunities, laying the groundwork for sustainable development across the country.
In addition to environmental benefits, the Prime Minister emphasized the socio-economic impacts of these projects. The development of wind energy is opening new avenues for India’s youth.
As the sector expands, new skills are being developed, creating diverse employment opportunities in rural and semi-urban areas. This growth ensures that the transition to clean energy acts as a catalyst for business development and economic empowerment.
Concluding his address on the topic, the Prime Minister stated that adopting clean energy is a vital responsibility for every citizen.
He reiterated that significant national changes result from initiatives taken at every level of society. By prioritizing clean energy today, India is not only addressing global environmental concerns but also building a robust and self-reliant energy infrastructure for future generations.
