Observing that India has now graduated from Megawatts to Gigawatts in terms of renewable energy production, the Prime Minister said that even today, there are lakhs of families in the country that are deprived of energy connectivity. He said, the fruits of development will not reach the common man until energy connectivity reaches every household.

The Prime Minister said, conserving energy is the need of the hour as energy can be saviour of generations. He said, people's lifestyle have changed to such an extent that future generations' share of resources is being utilized.
