Union Road and Transport Minister, Nitin Gadkari, while addressing the 212th meeting of the Indian Road Congress in Udaipur, said though India has an abundance of natural resources still it needs to evolve technologically in order to catch countries like the US, Germany, and Japan in terms of development.
For this India needs to stop water wastage and try to use flood water also as water is essential for the development of industries, agriculture, and power.
