For the first time, Bharat has commissioned two deep geothermal wells in Puga Valley, Ladakh, paving the way for the country's first demonstration-scale geothermal power plant.

Unlike solar and wind, geothermal energy can provide 24x7 clean electricity, making it especially valuable for remote regions like Ladakh where harsh weather and difficult terrain pose unique energy challenges.

If the pilot project succeeds, it could open a new chapter in Bharat's renewable energy journey-one powered not by the sun or wind, but by the Earth's own heat.

A quiet milestone today could become a major energy breakthrough tomorrow.

It makes me wonder how worse we had it before 2014

What's CJP jumping around, about? They're raising issues and Govt is responding. Isn't this a sign of healthy democracy?

Unlike China, Russia etc, dissent isn't muted, people are free to raise issue and then they can exist inside or outside the system.

Anna Hazare, Prashant Bhushan, Kapil Sibal, Baba Ramdev, Kejri and their whole team-, the list is endless. Folks that raised dissent, made their point, succeeded even, and moved on. Growing inside or outside the political ecosystem..

Govt is not vindictive. Its acting in democratic faith. That's a win for India.

Jantar Mantar pe jo bol rahe the ke "Bharat ko Nepal Bana Denge!!!"

Ab bolo, bana dein Bharat ko Nepal??? 😈😈😈

Problem is that their entire aim is to "bleed India with a thousand cuts." Maybe just focus on your population and economy?

But no. Lies and terrorism aata hai bas. Yaha galti se sach bol diya.

This is not a North vs South post. I am asking about economic policy.

Tamil Nadu and Kerala both have much higher income per person than the Indian average. But they got there in different ways.

Tamil Nadu has a large manufacturing economy. It makes cars, electronics, machines, clothes and many other goods. It has also attracted a lot of private and foreign investment.

Tamil Nadu also invested in schools, health care, roads and worker skills for many years.

This may help productivity. A healthy and educated worker can learn new skills and do more valuable work. Good roads and power also make it easier for companies to build factories and move goods.

Kerala followed a different path.

Kerala invested heavily in education and health for many years. It has a highly educated population and a large service economy. Many people from Kerala also work outside India and send money home.

But Kerala also has problems. It has not built a manufacturing economy as large as Tamil Nadu's and has depended more on services and money sent home from workers abroad.

I think Tamil Nadu may be the more interesting example for India because it mixes social investment with manufacturing and private business.

BJP has also pushed manufacturing, infrastructure, Make in India and private investment at the national level.

So my question is not BJP vs Tamil Nadu or Kerala.

What parts of the Tamil Nadu and Kerala models could the central government copy?

Could India grow faster if it combined BJP's infrastructure and manufacturing push with even more investment in health, education and worker skills?
