The use of wind energy and mini-hydros has put other countries to a level where they are able to generate more energy. In this country we have many small rivers with falls. If you go to a country like Pakistan, you will find that they generate a lot of their electricity from these mini- hydroes. I would encourage this Ministry to also encourage small investors to go this way; to have mini-hydroes, so that small towns, schools and health centres can be provided by localized sources of energy production."}
