Shri Piyush Goyal Assumes Charge of Ministry of Power

Shri Piyush Goyal today took over as the Union Minister of State(Independent Charge) of Ministries of Power, Coal and New & Renewable Energy. Speaking to media persons while assuming the charge of the Union Ministry of Power at Shram Shakti Bhawan this morning, Shri Goyal said that one of his major priorities is to de-bottleneck the system and ensure fast delivery. The Minister said that there are huge expectations to deliver from the Modi Government which make the responsibility of each Minister bigger and broader. Shri Goyal said that the Ministries of Power, Coal and New & Renewable Energy have been brought together under one umbrella because people want to see a small government but more delivery. It also recognises the synergy of various Ministries in government functioning, he added. He said that the job ahead is challenging since the Modi government has ambitious plans to serve the nation. 

Later the Minister held a meeting with the senior officers of the Ministry of Power and apprised himself of the functioning of the Ministry.
