Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a rally in Assam’s Golaghat, said India is the fastest developing country in the world and emphasized the need to reduce dependence on foreign oil and gas. He highlighted the National Deepwater Exploration Mission to explore potential offshore reserves and India’s progress in green energy and solar power. Modi said India must adopt alternative fuels to meet its growing energy demands. As part of this effort, a ₹5,000-crore bamboo-based ethanol plant was inaugurated at Numaligarh. The zero-waste facility will utilize the entire bamboo plant and is expected to boost the local rural economy by ₹200 crore annually. The government will also support bamboo cultivation and procurement.#pmmodi #assamnews #ethanolplant #greenenergy #renewableindia #bambooethanol #ruraleconomy #samudramanthan #energyindependence #numaligarh #toi #toibharat
