“Our nation doesn’t have the luxury of time; our people cannot wait any longer. We have to deliver extraordinary results; we have to meet the aspirations of the people of India fast….” – These words came from Piyush Goyal , the Minister of State (IC) for Power, Coal and New & Renewable Energy , while he was launching Energyinfrapost.com, an energy & infrastructure sector web portal at a media event recently.
The power minister said he aspires to take power to every home.
“We have to ensure that a child in rural remote village gets not only 24 hour power, but power that his family can afford in these trying times, which encourages and prepares him to compete with the rest of the world,"he said adding that in some sense, energy gives everyone the power to get digitally connected to the world and to enjoy fruits of new technologies.
Goyal also spoke on the feasibility of achieving ‘One Nation One Grid One Price’. He said that to realize this, there are three key elements - UDAY enabling Discoms to increase volume of power purchase, planning sufficient Renewable Energy generating capacity in all regions and reducing coal imports by increasing coal production in the country. “To strengthen the interstate transmission lines, the government has initiated an ambitious programme,” he added.
Talking about the present day journalism scenario, he said “I genuinely believe days and time calls for new breed of journalism and excellence in journalism which certainly is very hard hitting to stop wrong from happen but which also encourages to work.”
