Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIl) organised different programmes in Indore in past two days to spread message regarding importance of nuclear power.
The NPCIl has launched a nationwide campaign to spread awareness on Nuclear Power as an alternative option of electricity. In this series, NPCI conducted a camp at Table Tennis Complex of Nehru Stadium in Indore.
The NPCIl officials said that like players need energy to perform, nation needs nuclear energy to develop. The officials further discussed how to deal with the shortage of electricity and how to avail electricity round the clock at cheaper rates. To the present children the officials showed animated film regarding nuclear energy and presented a comic ‘Ek tha Budhiya’ free of cost.
later, on the occasion a friendly Energy Tennis Match was played among the children. Rohan Gaud and Gautham Kapoor won the competition, whereas Pradyuman Gupta and Nidhi were first runner up. The awards were presented by the table tennis coach Nixen Singh.
The conductor of the programme Sandeep Pal said that players need energy to perform likewise nation is in need of energy. There is steep rise in shortage of electricity in the nation and it has become a challenge for both central and State governments, he added. In future one must look for the alternate option of energy and that would be nuclear energy.
He further said that even after so many years of independence 20 to 25 per cent cities and villages are still in utter darkness. These places can offer neither good education nor treatment, he added.
In India there are 21 atomic power plants efficiently working, whereas in France 71 per cent of energy is obtained from nuclear power, he added. Today what is required is to establish more nuclear power plants in India. Countries like France, China, Britain, America and many other nations around the world have become developed using nuclear energy, he added.
He further said that before Nehru Stadium, the programme was organised at Gujarati College at Nasia Road of Indore on Monday.
