This is one Minister who has kept his trap shut and is working more.

And actively asking everyone to monitor and track the progress and report any slip-ups.

Modi needs more such ministers like these in every department.

Hope we had his photocopy in defence ministry.

But he along with Railway minister and Transport and shipping minister are doing a real commendable job.

Modi has said that 175 Gigawatts would be added as renewable energy generation by 2022. Modi and French President Francois Hollande launched the International Solar Alliance and pledged India's assistance of $30 million for the initiative that brings together developed and developing countries.

Piyush Goyal will need to step on the gas to achieve this target, which I'm sure he is capable of.
