Indigenous technology needed for renewable energy projects: Goyal
New Delhi: New and Renewable Energy Minister Piyush Goyal said here on Friday that indigenous technology development and standardization of projects was essential for the growth of renewable energy.
He said that as the country aims to achieve 175 GW energy generation from renewable sources by 2022, one needs to “pay more attention on ensuring quality and reliability of renewable energy systems for effective promotion of renewable energy”.
“Indigenous technology development and standardization essential for the growth of renewable energy,” he said.
The minister said standardization would facilitate financing options, while proper testing would maintain the quality of products.
He was speaking at the inauguration of the National workshop on Lab Infrastructure for Testing, Standardization, Certification and Inspection for Renewable Energy Deployment Programme.
To ensure that systems installed function properly, he emphasised on maintaining consistency in manufacturing and reliability of the technologies.
The minister said that bio-gas needs to be given “more attention” to make it a “well-organized” industry.
“Improved biomass cook stoves should be promoted for clean cooking solutions, thereby addressing both fuel saving and health hazards concerns of rural women and children,” he said.
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.
