Gujarat’s historic achievement in the field of solar energy
In what can be called as Gujarat ’s quantum leap in the field of solar power generation the Chief Minister Narendra Modi dedicated 600 MW solar power project s to the nation. These projects include solar power plant s at the Asia’s largest solar park at Charnka village as well as solar units at ten other places in Gujarat .
The Chief Minister took a panoramic view of the entire solar park from a huge tower. He greeted the US Consul General Mr. Peter Hesh and the office bearers of ADB and IFC and congratulated the owners of the developer companies for being part of this historic project.
Speakin g on the occasion the Chief Minister said , when the entire world is engulfed by the problem of climate change, it is Gujarat ’s dream to demonstrate before the world an example of climate justice. “This achievement is not merely a step in the direction of power conservation but it provides the world with a vision that how the power needs of the future generations can be solved in an environment-friendly manner”, he said.
When Gujarat was ready with its own solar energy policy for the first time in the country, Mr. Modi said , the Central govern ment was mulling the nation’s solar policy just on a primary level. “Due to the efforts made by the Gujarat government, the cost of solar power has come down to Rs.8.50 per unit from Rs.15 per unit”, he said. He exuded faith this cost will further go down to rupees four per unit in future once the supply of solar power gets increase .
Speakin g about the State government ’s future moves in the solar secto r the Chief Minister said the government has planned to come up with roof-top solar power policy. This will enable a common man to generate solar power by putting solar panel on the roof of his house and sell the power to the State government. “Gujarat contributes 66% of the nation’s total solar power generation. Though the State has already become power surplus, a budget of Rs.2000 crore has been allocated for the developments in the field of renewable energy”, said the Chief Minister.
Mr. Modi recalled that the nation had launched its first space shuttle ‘Soyuz-1’ and the first satellite ‘Aryabhatt’ on April 19. “To day is the day of pride for India as the nation launched Agni-5 to day and the Asia ’s largest power plant has also been dedicated to the nation today”, he said .
This desert area , facing the borders of Pakistan , has seen a socio-economic turnaround with the development in solar sector. This, otherwise an arid region, has emerged as a top power producer in the country, he said .
In coming time the world will have to face scarc ity of conventional energy resources like coal and gas. At such times, Gujarat has opened up a door of prosperity for future generation by focusing on solar and wind power generation. “The state has taken a giant leap and achieved a goal of 18,000 MW of power generation just in a decade, against the 4000 MW of power generation of the past”, Mr. Modi said .
The Chief Minister expressed faith that the State government ’s initiative s in solar secto r will influence the global energy market also. “The Gujarat government desires to set up solar power equip ment manufact uring units on big scale, which will give employ ment to around thirty thousand youths”, he said .
Mr. Modi said the State government is committed to encourage inn ovation s in the field of renewable energy . For accelerating the researc h in this field, he said, the Pandit Dindayal Petroleum University has start ed ‘School of Solar Energy ’. With a view to create a skilled manpower in this field the State government has also start ed solar energy courses in ITIs, he add ed.
US Consul General Mr. Peter Hesh said that the developed nations are also eager to invest and part ner Gujarat in various fields including solar energy , which is a proof of Gujarat ’s global recognition.
Radhanpur MLA Shankar Chaudhary, GEDA Chairman I.M.Bhavsar, Senior Climate Change Specialist of Asian Development Bank Mr. Naoki Sakai , Mr. Dana Yangar of International Finance Corporation , Principal Secretary to Energy Mr. Pandiyan, government official s, owners of solar energy firms, local leaders and villagers were present on the occasion.

Connection between Diabetes and Thyroid
Diabetes and thyroid disorders have a close association with one another; diabetics have more prevalence of thyroid disorders when compared with non-diabetics. Thyroid affects endocrine system in the same way as diabetes does. Thyroid disorders are a result of improper functioning of the thyroid gland, which is responsible for secretion of hormones that promotes growth and development, cell nutrient uses and reproduction. One’s thyroid plays a crucial role in the regulation of metabolism. If the thyroid gland functions improperly, a person’s blood sugar levels suffer majorly thereby, increasing the chances of diabetic complications. click for ORIGINAL POST
