New Delhi, Mar 5(IBNS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said amendment of the existing Land Acquisition Act is essential to enable creation of rural infrastructure.

The Prime Minister appealed to all members to support the government's initiatives that will help fulfil the "mandate for development" given by the people of the country.

He also appealed to farmers not to be "misled" by those who were trying to project the government's initiatives for development as being "anti-farmer."

Modi was addressing a large gathering of farmers and people from rural areas, on the occasion of the dedication to the nation of Stage-1 (2x600MW) and laying of Foundation Stone of Stage-2 (2x660MW) of Shree Singaji Thermal Power Project, at Khandwa in Madhya Pradesh

Describing energy as an integral part of modern life, the Prime Minister reiterated his commitment to deliver power to all. He said power generation has gone up by about 11 per cent in the last 9 to 10 months, since the new Government assumed office.

He emphasized the importance of saving energy, and mentioned the Government`s programme of LED bulbs for homes and street-lighting.

Modi said the Government is committed to curbing corruption, and gave the example of successful auctioning of coal blocks, which would also benefit Madhya Pradesh in a big way.

Madhya Pradesh chief minister  Shivraj Singh Chouhan, and  Union MoS(IC) for Power Shri Piyush Goyal were present on the occasion.
