PM Modi Sets 100 GW Nuclear Energy Target by 2047

Every year, India celebrates Independence Day with a big speech from its leader.

This year, Prime Minister Modi talked about making India's own energy.

Energy is what powers lights, cars, and machines.

He said India wants to build a lot of power from nuclear energy by the year 2047.

Nuclear energy comes from tiny atoms and can make lots of electricity.

India is also using the sun to make electricity, which is called solar energy.

Solar power in India has grown a lot, from a small amount to 160 gigawatts.

More homes now get natural gas through pipes to cook with.

The leader said India should make its own products and sell them to other countries.

This way, India can become stronger and not depend on others for fuel.
