Even as coal and energy Minister Piyush Goyal is going to address World Economic Forum in Delhi on promoting renewable energy in India on Wednesday, IFFCO achieved a milestone a day earlier by commissioning the 50 Kwp Solar Power Plant at Surender Jakhar Bhavan in Gurgaon in Haryana.
World Economic Forum is an International Institution committed to improving the state of the world through public-private cooperation. It was established in 1971 as a not-for-profit Foundation and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.
A jubilant MD Dr U S Awasthi shared the good news through twitter. Dr. U S Awasthi tweeted “Congratulations to @aksinghiffco,#BirinderSingh & team 4 commissioning 50 KWp #SolarPowerPlant in SurenderJakharBhavan, Sec-32,#Gurgaon.”
Keeping pace with national as well as global imperatives of switching over to the renewal mode of energy, IFFCO MD said that we are committed to protecting environment and this small move is the first step towards the bigger goal.
Dr. U S Awasthi “ #IFFCO is committed to environment. A step towards Energy saving by using #renewable sources of #energy at #IFFCO”.
Several of his followers retweeted his statement. One of them said solar power is generated without causing pollution hence it is the energy of the future. Another butt in to say “Congratulations Sir on going Green initiative in IFFCO buildings”.
