Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Acting Managing Director, UBM India said, “Over the last decade, there has been increased recognition in terms of energy security and energy production that civil nuclear power could play. The disastrous effect on climate by the use of fossil fuels, their exhaustible nature and the absence of any other alternative that could satisfy the fast growing energy needs of the world striving to achieve economic growth have pushed the policy of use of nuclear energy. India too has taken a similar decision.”
Dr. Jitendra Singh, Minister of State, Atomic Energy, Prime Minister’s Office, Government of India reiterated the fact that India has not only elevated to a great extent in Nuclear energy but also managed to live up to the commitment of discovery in peaceful applications of Nuclear Energy.
