Union minister for new and renewable energy Dr Farooq Abdullah on Saturday praised Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for his ‘wonderful efforts’ on the renewable energy front.
Abdullah, who was in the state capital to attend a conference on ‘Interdependence, Integration, and Co-creation’ at Jaipuria Institute of Management, said that Modi has made use of solar energy in one of the most efficient way. Citing an example, he said, “Gujarat government has laid solar panels over canals. While, on one hand, the panels curtail evaporation of water from canals, the solar energy is generated on the other.”
In fact Gujarat and Rajasthan were the two states where use of solar energy has been enormous, Abdullah said.
