Gandhinagar, Friday: Even as Gujarat Government has decided to harness renewable sources of energy to maximum possible extent to solve the nation’s power shortage, Chief Minister Narendra Modi today said the State is set to become the ‘Solar Capital of the World’.
He w While the Mr. Modi said the world’s largest solar park combining the vast stretches of land with ample supply of sunrays is also coming up in the region. The initiative should go a long way in solving the coal shortage. He said that Gujarat has already succeeded converting disasters into opportunities, as Kutch became the fastest growing district in the country during the last decade. Gujarat’s 1,600-km long coastline is humming with a number of seaports. And now it is converting the arid Kutch, Banaskantha and Patan districts into prosperous power producing regions. He recalled that Gujarat was a power deficient state but today distributing 24-hour electricity to all the 18,000-odd villages in the state. With proper conservation and management of water and electricity, he said, Jyoti Gram Yojna has changed the socio-economic conditions of Gujarat, creating a mass awareness too. While the Centre has been reduced to a power-corrupt government amidst zero development, Mr. Modi said, Gujarat has shown how power could be utilized for all all round growth. The state is undertaken new initiatives in recycling biomass and agro-waste. Mozer Baer Company’s president Dipak Puri and project chairman Ratul Puri said the project should provide electricity to 50,000 villagers. They praised the Gujarat Government’s proactive policies. Others present on the occasion included Social Justice Minister Fakirbhai Vaghela, Ministers of State Liladhar Vaghela and Parbat Patel, ex-MP Haribhai Chaudhry, MLAs and office-bearers. | |

In a state like TN which is reeling with power shortage, this is not a solution. what is missed out is that in Gujarat, people pay for electricity and is not subsidised as in TN. Therefore, they can afford to have higher tariff. The way out for TN is to reform the sector so as to reflect cost of service  Joseph Pulikotil said...Very interesting post. Modi has been doing a lot of good for Gujarath and the state has become one of the best states in the country although those in power in central government would not like to acknowledge it. They want to somehow implicate Modi for the communal violence that took place in Gujarat many years ago. It is a fact Gujarath is marching ahead ispite of all the obstacles placed by the UPA leadership. I enjoyed reading this fabulous post.
