The two missions will fall under the Union Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation (for Rural) and the Union Ministry of Urban Development (for Urban).

The increase in the unit costs of IHHLs (Le. of Rs, 2,000) has been done to provide water availability, including for storage, hand washing and cleaning of toilets.

The agréement was signed by the Secretary, Indian Department of Atomic Energy and the High Commissioner of Australia to India. This agreoment was signed for India to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes like research, power generation, medicine, agriculture and industry and Australia as long term reliable supplier of Uranium to India. Indian Uranium resources are very small and more than 50% is imported. India operates 20 mostly small reactors at six sites with a capacity of 4,780 MW, or 2 percent of its total power capacity, according to the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited. The Government hopes to increase its nuclear capacity to 63,000 MW by 2032 by adding nearly 30 reactors at an estimated cost of $85 billion. It currently has nuclear energy agreements with 11 countries and imports Uranium from France, Russia T.BC. : 7714/ET—B 36 ‘Prégt (Wa w, 51 #55) = T.B. frefafen ve ufeee =) earrgie ofa si ad fered ai aed gz we 51 a 55 we Saat cha : aned-oredieran afaata ait : 6 fare, 2014 at ari FS waR Feit Bowe StF eet eRe oe omecien 9 afer Sat mae sr A vein & faq ue aati Swe mw mene fra | ca aenfe we aie, ureta afreta ae faum sit ua Ho onion serge 3 gene fF | we vera oa 4 afte oat home soa Sa — ete, faci se, aiefa, qf atk sine fac atk ann A eet was am aes ang & fac armioan 4 ur favaema args @ ea 9 renet fea wa oredte gifted ait aga oa E Sk 50% 8 afer ara Serf 1 Ue w: eee 4,780 Tae a ae 20 Ger ee fet oT ae aga wa at 2% Ber & a onda aia sat fre fafees oor arn ee 1 Wer $85 sea S see ypu we rns 90 feet St Stews 2082 Ta 69,000 Sewers wh oat sre So aent st om van @ | adam # yest afieta oat west 11 Sao *% ok wis, ea oh aoe 3 athens ar sre ae & 1 1 feet weite .C. : TH/14/ET—B 37 P.T.O. and Kazakhstan. 1 kg of natural Uranium will yield about 20,000 times as much energy as 1 ky of oval. Currently about 4% of electricity in India is provided from nuclear power plants and 70% from coal, Apart from the environmental problems of, generating electricity from fossil fuels, the fossil fuels are also fast depleting. To maintain a clean. onergy security, Government of India aims to generate 25% of electricity in India from nuclear powor plants by 2050. Though India has relatively large reserves of Thorium Oxide, its Uranium reserves are comparatively modost. As of May 2014, India has 2,11,478 tonnes in situ U808 (1,79,389 tonne Uranium) reserves, It regularly assesses the “techno-sconomie viability” of extraction and development of Uranium resources. Not all Uranium deposits explored are mined and processed. On various occasions, mining and exploration of Uranium reserves have been discontinued because of the low economic feasibility, The Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) admitted in 1 pasl that shortage of Uranium had affected the functioning of the power plants. Tn an anewer to a question in the Indian Parliament, the government stated, “The Country's Uranium requirement in the 12th Five Year Plan [2012-2017] period is estimated to be 5057 tonnes. This includes 318 tonnes of low enriched Uranium for Tarapur Atomic Power Station (TAPS) - 1 & 2 and Knudankulam (KK)"2 1 & 2.° "The Indian nuclear T.B.C. : T7/14/ET—B 38 teen SOS Sat 1 fect Ss Boos sah SF ene 20,000 aA afin ee ee See ase st ot ti tary fie & feet aac foarte yeaa S ser starr da ast & ere a at 1G tee oat qten ay ay TS fee ues wR 2050 we oma A 5% fast afieta oat wih a Serer ser ote wart & wath una H sifter aimee sie aterga ates €, 3 ae afer ian gears ea f aaa Eat one aw or 4 sent u308 (1,79,399 24 afm) a 2,11,478 =H om viet Lae fret fem sic orm ott fee st enietanfie sta a1 apie ee Teal 1 ae ara ater ett ot we stk whey ae st ont 1 fier set Te ahem sted Saat oh uty, fra oniie siteer & aren te Bret & 1 cong sal fem 9 Red fet arn fe ahem wf area A age “Hot Sorter wus gen ts ee a ge om & a @ dn men 3 ea fe oa A dite a armen zd eave chet erm (2012-0017) ¥ 6057 ex A ar one & 1 er aR cM.
