India committed to renewable energy: Farooq Abdullah

Union minister for new and renewable energy Farooq Abdullah has said his ministry was focusing mainly on solar, wind, geo-thermal and biomass sectors.

“Till every person understands his or her responsibility, India’s development path would not be easy,” he said addressing a national conference on ‘Infrastructure and its role in India’s socio-economic growth’ at Jaipuria Institute of Management here.

Talking about the lack of energy penetration in India, he said 40 per cent of the population did not know what an electric bulb looked like.
