Bangladesh should opt for solar power
Bangladesh has taken initiatives to import power from India through Rampal project. Bangladesh is also seeking Russian help in building a nuclear power plant. The country should focus on solar energy, which its neighbour India is tapping. It can seek Indian help in solar power. Except during monsoon, Bangladesh is blessed with sunshine. The government can formulate suitable policies to utilize solar power which is a clean source of energy. Another Asian country Indonesia is also serious on solar energy. In Indian states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, solar power is used to run televisions and charging mobile phones. If power is available, it will also help in educating people. People in villages where no power is available do not send their children to schools as children cannot study in the dark.
