Government to protect foreign investments: Piyush Goyal
New Delhi: The government will protect and encourage foreign investment in the country, Power, Coal and Renewable Energy Minister Piyush Goyal said Monday.
“For a new investment destination, the prerequisite is an atmosphere which makes doing business easier, consistency in policies, bankable contracts and prevalence of rule of law in the country,” Goyal said at the three-day ‘First Renewable Energy Global Investors Meet and Expo (Re-Invest)’ here.
Germany is the partner country for Re-Invest, being attended by 2,800 delegates from 41 countries.
The central theme of Re-Invest is to attract investment for the renewable energy sector.
“In terms of companies which are participating, several have committed to invest in renewable energy and these commitments total to numbers which are even more than the entire mission we have set up,” Goyal said last week.
“We are looking at nearly twice the amount of interest than what our target is, more than 200 GW or 200,000 MW, with investments of $200 billion,” the minister added.
Calling for an energy revolution in the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday said India had the strength and resources to lead the world’s fight against global warming.
“If there is one country to show the world the way to combat global warming, it is India,” Modi said inaugurating the Re-Invest meet.
“The way for humankind out of disaster, only India can show the way because we love nature, we worship our rivers as mother,” he added.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
