„As India races to build a robust energy infrastructure to meet its energy goals, it faces three critical questions: One: How can we ensure that every citizen and every economic activity in India has access to adequate, very affordable energy? Two: How can it? And the rapid shift to green energy? Three: How could it jeopardize the expanding needs of a fast-growing economy from a turbulent external environment? , according to PTI.
Ambani, the country’s richest man, added that the energy transition has become the most important factor in ensuring that India becomes a global leader in green, sustainable and inclusive growth.

„They will not only design breakthrough energy solutions to create a strong and self-reliant India, but also a safer and healthier planet,” he said. He also urged the students to be fearless and never lose faith in their own skills and abilities.

And he added: „I am what I am in life because of India, because of Bharat. Wherever your life takes you, contribute your best to the greatness and glory of India. Know that you are truly blessed to be young in today’s India. So much so that the 21st century is indeed going to be India’s century.” India is moving forward today with confidence.”
