Kolkata, May 21 (PTI) Noted non-conventional energy expert and current advisor on renewable energy to West Bengal government S P Gon Chaudhuri has welcomed the decision to start a renewable energy ministry.
"Bringing non-conventional energy under a separate ministry by the West Bengal government is a major step forward in the endeavour for a greener world," Gon Chaudhuri told PTI.
Earlier, non-conventional energy was under the ministry of power as a department.
Chaudhuri who had worked for the last 27 years in this field wants to take forward this clean energy mission under the new West Bengal government.
"Working for green energy is like a mission for me. I was never a political appointee so I would continue to offer my expertise to the the new government unless situation calls for otherwise," he said.
