Dr. Singh was speaking after laying the
foundation stone of 2800 MW Gorakhpur Haryana Atomic Power Project at Gorakhpur on 13th January 2014.
While congratulating the people of
Haryana for extending cooperation for setting up of this nuclear power project,
the Prime Minister said that this project would strengthen the lead taken by
Haryana in field of economic development in the country over other states. He
said that this would be the first of its kind project in this part of the
country. Half of the total power to be generated from this project would be
utilized to meet the demand of villages, towns and industries in the state.
Dr. Manmohan emphasized the need of
international cooperation to meet our energy requirements especially in
increasing the nuclear power production in the country. But he regretted that
international community restricts the country’s access to nuclear technology
for a long time. However, our government achieved success in striking trade in
nuclear technology with other countries in year 2008. This has enabled us to
set up nuclear power projects in the country and we are getting adequate supply
of nuclear fuel on economical rates.
