Nagpur: “People say I’m crazy, but that’s how I work.
Music fountains on Lake Futala can come to Crore RS10, but RS150 Crore is spent, taking the cost of the total cost for even RS450 Crore to make it world class,” said Minister of Transportation Union Nitin Gadkari on Sunday.
Gadkari said inspired by Butchart Park in Vancouver, Canada, was visited by millions per year, he wanted to make the top garden in the world close to Lake Futala.
The Minister speaks on the function organized by Vidarbha Industries Association (VIA) and Lemon School of Entrepreneurship, a startup assistance company from the city.
“I was told by the architect that Futala Garden would make a park in Dubai too,” he said.
The Minister presented his ideas which included a rolling restaurant in Lake Futala and an island in the middle.
This will be a platform about one hectare where people can reach by boat and hold events such as wedding functions etc., he said.
The high-cost lake beauty project with music fountains and viewer gallery has been going on on the lake site.
“There is a botanical garden from Panjabrao Krishi Vidyapeth (PKV) near Futala.
I have a plan to make a convention center in 100 hectares of land there.
World class park with different flower specifications will also be there,” he said.
“I don’t know anything about techniques, but there are three world records in my name.
First is the fastest construction of a 40-km road; Building road concrete four lanes 2 km in a day and lay eggs on the 22km lane only 22 hours,” said Gadkari .
The Minister also provides food to think about them with the acuity of entrepreneurship and advocate the use of new age technology to produce green hydrogen at the village level itself without a big investment.
Gadkari talks about producing green hydrogen from wastewater in villages by producing strength through windmills installed right in waste treatment plants.
“What you need is just a box thinking together by obtaining proven technology and ensuring the availability of raw materials,” he said.
Gadkari, who previously encouraged the idea to operate a car using green hydrogen, also imagined airplanes and trains run on green fuel.
“Coal can be replaced by green hydrogen to operate a cement and steel plant,” he said.
“I have found some young people from the US, which makes electrolysis (systems that use electricity to break water into hydrogen and oxygen) in Bengaluru.
However, 90% of equipment is sent to the US.
I ask them to provide electrolymer to India,” he said, Spell all schemes to produce green hydrogen with rather low input costs.
The minister said, “Dirty water in villages can be treated with solid waste and liquid waste management factory right on the spot.
Warehouse for solid waste management can have a solar module of the roof and a small windmill.
This will ensure (solar) power supply in the unit RS2 A, while water will be free.
Power is the most important input in making green hydrogen that can be used by electrolyer.
“” Cement and steel factories, which are currently used coal, can also be run on green hydrogen regardless of airplanes, train engines and Even trucks and cars.
This will not only reduce dependence on imports of fossil fuels, but also runs deep in reducing pollution, “Gadkari said, highlighting the situation in the national capital where pollution had become a big challenge.
