On the other hand, Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, UK Minister of State for South Asia and the Commonwealth, said, “It is a great pleasure to inaugurate this magnificent project in India. I’d like to extend my congratulations on behalf of Her Majesty’s Government and all of us here in the UK to the Indian Government, the State Bank of India, NEEV Fund, SunSource Energy and everyone who has been directly and indirectly involved with this fantastic project and bringing it to life. This project is a fine example of what’s possible when we work together. Our involvement in this project is very much in the mould of the win-win cooperation that typifies the modern, progressive, dynamic relationship we have built between the United Kingdom and India.”
He also added “Supporting the global transition to clean energy is a big part of the relationship between our two countries, particularly as we have only one way to take on this challenge – collectively. The United Kingdom is delighted to be a member of India’s International Solar Alliance and to be part of its various other initiatives contributing towards this transition. PM Modi Ji’s ‘One World, One Sun, One Grid initiative’ is another example of the leadership that India is providing on this important agenda”.
Manav Bansal, Chief Investment Officer, Need Fund shared “ Neev Fund was launched by Prime Minister Modi and the former Prime Minister of the UK, Mr. David Cameron, with the purpose of investing in geographies that did not traditionally receive private investments. The idea is to create world-class enterprises, which will in turn positively impact the lives and livelihoods of the poor. SunSource Energy is a prime example of Neev’s investment, that has helped bring about systemic change in the sector.”
