Udupi, 16 November 2011: The central government had implemented the Solar Mission 2020 project in 2009. As per this project by 2020 in our country 20,000 megawatt power is to be generated from solar energy.
But now in this year 2011 under this project it is difficult to even generate 98 megawatt power from solar energy! This shocking matter was disclosed by Dr. Harish Hande, Megasay award winner for the achievement in the field of solar energy.

 

 

Originally from Kota Dr. Harish Hande had come to his native place to receive felicitation and was speaking in the press conference organized by Udupi Press Club. Speaking further he said that, it is the Delhi mafias who are responsible for the failure of the solar mission. The people’s representatives who are in Delhi who have not even touched and seen how the solar panel is, are preparing the projects for the villages and that is why the project has failed, he said.

There is strong influence of the English newspapers on these Delhi mafias. These papers do not give the deeper information and problems in their reports on the rural areas which makes the projects off-track. A best example for this is that Montek Singh of the planning commission had said recently that the people in the rural area require only Rs. 32 per day for living, he said.

The country is bearing the educational expenses of the so called most intelligent, the IIT students. This money is coming from the tax payers of the rural area while they buy their daily usable items.
Among these IIT students 95% are going abroad with the reason of higher education and among them only 5% will return back and the rest settle there itself, said Dr. Hande who himself studied in IIT.
