Khunti (Jharkhand):
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday made a strong pitch for environment protection and energy conservation, linking them to the Bapu’s commitment to providing justice to the poor.
Inaugurating a rooftop solar plant here for Khunti court and district collectorate, which is the first in any court in India, he said that Gandhiji was a big supporter of environment protection.
Modi said he snatched the opportunity to inaugurate the project as October two – Birth anniversary of Mahtma Gandhi — was his inspiration.
Modi said that India is not to be blamed for the “sin” of environment degradation, but even so will contribute towards containing it.
The Indian Prime Minister said setting up of Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic system in Jharkhand—rich in coal — will be noticed in the world.
If Gujarat or Rajasthan think of solar energy, people will say that it is understandable as they have no coal, but when Jharkhand, which is a rich in coal, does so, the world gets a message from it, Modi said.
