First Demonstration Offshore Wind Power Project planned in India
A MoU for setting up a Joint Venture Company ( JVC) towards undertaking the First Demonstration Offshore Wind Power Project in the country along the Gujarat coast has been signed& in the presence of Shri Piyush Goyal , Union Minister of State (I/C), Power, Coal and New & Renewable Energy . The MoU was signed by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE), and Consortium of partners consisting of National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL), Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA), Power Finance Corporation (PFC), Power Trading Corporation (PTC), and Gujarat Power Corporation Ltd (GPCL).
Speaking on the occasion, Shri Piyush Goyal described it as a great opportunity in the development of renewable energy resources in the country. He pointed out that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi&s message in the US was loud and clear that renewable energy is the way to go, it dovetails world&s concerns about climate change and it clearly enhances India&s energy security. Considering the country&s 7600 km long coastal line , Shri Goyal stated that opportunities for scaling up are humongous. The Minister also suggested for building partnership with Defence , Coast guard and Shipping to ensure seamless and time bound approval process.
The Joint Venture Company will undertake detailed feasibility study based on the inputs received from pre-feasibility studies and necessary steps for implementation of the first offshore demonstration wind power project.
The first planned demonstration offshore wind power project along the Gujarat coast will be of about 100 MW capacity. It has been proposed to provide subsidy for setting up of evacuation and transmission infrastructure of the offshore wind power to the main land including financial support for carrying out studies such as wind resource assessment, Environment Impact Assessment (EIA), oceanographic survey and Bathymetric studies. Ministry would also assist in obtaining clearances involved during the implementation of the project. This being a first demonstration offshore wind project in the country, will certainly provide enough learning to move into this sector by taking up similar viable projects in future, enabling India to enter in the club of countries who are in the business of offshore wind power generation.
Wind power development onshore has reached to commercial stage in India and is fastest growing renewable energy option today. India also has around 7600 KM of coastline which offers great potential for Off-shore wind power development. Having more than 22 GW installed onshore wind power capacity in the country, Ministry has taken initiative towards offshore wind power development which includes announcement of Draft National Offshore Wind Energy Policy and preparation of Draft Cabinet note on National Offshore Wind Energy Policy which has been circulated for inter-ministerial comments. Finalization of the proposed National Offshore Wind Energy Policy will provide a conducive environment for harnessing offshore wind energy including setting up of a demonstration offshore wind power project to show case technology and build investors& confidence.
In early 90s, Ministry had taken up onshore demonstration projects in various states. A total of 71 MW of demonstration projects in 7 states have leveraged a wind power capacity of around 22,000 MW with private sector investment. Therefore, Ministry decided to go for a demonstration off-shore wind power project to show-case the possibility and viability of off-shore wind power in the country. Some sites were identified along the Gujarat and Tamil Nadu coast which have good wind power potential for development of offshore projects. Since, GPCL has shown interest, it was decided to plan the first offshore wind power project along the coast of Gujarat.
However, world-wide offshore wind power projects aggregating to about 7.5 GW capacity have been installed (UK - 4.2 GW; Denmark - 1.2 GW; Belgium & 0.7 GW; Germany & 0.6 GW; China & 0.4 GW; the Netherlands & 0.2 GW and Sweden & 0.2 GW)
Shri. Upendra Tripathy , Secretary , MNRE, CMDs of all partner PSUs and senior officers of MNRE were present on the occasion of signing of the MoU.

Mrs Dalloway
Clarissa: ideas about time, fragility and consciousness of mortality
Time | Fragility | Mortality |
“but she feared time itself, and read on Lady Bruton's face, as if it had been a dial cut in impassive stone, t how year by year her share was sliced” […]. (2.8) | “Death was defiance. Death was an at people feeling the impossibility of reaching the centre which, mystically, evaded them.” [In Septimus, Clarissa not only sees her own mortality but also feels the fleetingness and fragility of human existence] | “Death was defiance. Death was an at people feeling the impossibility of reaching the centre which, mystically, evaded them.” |
“Life stand still here.” | “So he was deserted. The whole world was clamouring: Kill yourself, kill yourself, for our sakes. But why should he kill himself for their sakes' F and this killing oneself, how does one set about it, with a table knife, uglily, with floods of blood, - by sucking a gaspipe' H he could scarcely raise his hand. Besides, now that he was quite alone, condemned, deserted, as those who are about to die are alone, there was a luxury in it, an isolati a freedom which the attached can never know.” | “She had the perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far
she always had the feeling that it was very, very, dangerous to live even one day.” |
“She felt somehow very like him—the young man who had killed himself. She felt glad thrown it away. The clock was striking. The leaden circles dissolved in the air. He made made her feel the fun. But she must go back. She must assemble.” | “The world wavered and quivered and threatened to burst into flames.” | “Did it matter then, she asked herself, walking towards Bond Street, did it matter that she must inevitably cease completely' All this mu or did it not become consoling to believe that death ended absolutely'” |
“First a warning, then the hour, irrevocable. The leaden circles dissolved in the air.” |
| “Clarissa had a theory in those days . . . that since our apparitions, the part of us which appears, are so momentary compared with the other, the unseen part of us, which spreads wide, the unseen might survive, be recovered somehow attached to this person or that, or even haunting certain places after death . . . perhaps—perhaps.” |
“Nothing could be slow enough, nothing lasts too long. No pleasure could equal, she thought, straightening the chairs, pushing in one book on the shelf, this having done with the triumphs of youth, lost herself in the process of living, to find it with a shock of delight, as the sun rose, as the day sank. Many a time had she gone, at Barton when they were all talking, seen it between peoples seen it in London when she could not sleep. She walked to the window.” | "S at the same time unspeakably aged. She sliced like a knif at the same time was outside, looking on. . . .far out to sea and alone” (and also in the column of time) | Death was defiance. Death was an at people feeling the impossibility of reaching the centre which, mystically,
rapture faded, one was alone. There was an embrace in death.” |
“Time flaps on the mast.” | “But often now this body she wore . . . this body, with all its capacities, seemed nothing --- nothing at all."Feels like she is dissaperaing, not having any signifance or Page 11 | “After that, how unbelievable death was! - and no one in the whole world would know how she had loved it all.” |
“One feels even in the midst of the traffic, or waking at night, Clarissa was positive, a particular hush, an a suspense before Big Ben strikes. There! Out it boomed. First a warning, then the hour, irrevocable. The leaden circles dissolved in the air.”Part of Clarissa’s everyday life is the sound of Big Ben. She has come to anticipate (and be comforted while also disturbed by) the chiming of the bells. |
| […] chill and sharp and yet (for a girl of eighteen as she then was) solemn, feeling as she did, standing there at the open window, that something awful was about to happen […]. (1.3)Even before the war, Clarissa experienced deep anxiety on a daily basis. Even the simplest actions stir her fear of death now. Because she doesn't connect to other people, she has to deal with this anxiety on her own, which only exacerbates the problem. |
“What a lark! What a plunge! For so it had always seemed to her, when, with a little squeak of the hinges, which she could hear now, she had burst open the French windows and plunged at Bourton into the open air”. (1.2)In this moment, the mere sound of a squeaky hinge transports Clarissa back in time. It makes her recall her youth at Bourton, her family’s country home. |
| “Septimus, lately taken from life to death, the Lord who had come to renew society, who lay like a coverlet, a snow blanket smitten only by the sun, for ever unwasted, suffering for ever, the scapegoat, the eternal sufferer, but he did not want it, he moaned, putting from him with a wave of his hand that eternal suffering, that eternal loneliness.” (1.78)Septimus imagines himself as a lonely savior figure. He believes that he has a message to share – that his suffering can at least teach something to others. In the end, it seems he's right: his death is certainly a lesson to Clarissa. |
| Pg.33 “there was an emptiness abo an attic room”Attic room symbolises memories of the past, sense that she feels like she has become redundant in some ways. Removing/retreating from the world to this attic space. In this retreat, she has to ask
what she is retreating from and whether she has made the right decisions in life and her legacy. |
| “like a nun” – suggests she hasn’t fulfilled what may be her purpose. Conservation, give up life. Removed herself from society, live in a convent. What has Clarrissa removed herself from' Cannot engage in.Nuns are restricted so she feel restrictiedHer role comes with restrictions, ways of living/behaving, like nuns. In her decision to marry Richard. |
| Pg. 31 “she felt like a nun whose left the world and feels fold around her the familiar veils and response to old devotions” – feels like she is being enclosedBut veils also represent security.Tension – at one time restriciting but also secure and comforting. Gentle, protecting her, yet also confining her to one particular role. |
| It was her life, and, bending her head over the hall table, she bowed beneath the influence, felt blessed and purified, saying to herself, as she took the pad with the telephone message on it, how moments like this are buds on the tree of life, flowers of darkness they are, she thought london’s modern world of energy and excitement has given her some meaning. Contast/retreat of going home contrast with freedom and joining with freedom and people of that movement.
| Keeps repeating “fear no more” – trying to allay those concerns. Trying to quiet some of the anxieties she has about her husband, her life “But she feared time itself, and read on Lady Bruton's face, as if ithad been a dial cut in impassive stone, t how year byyear
how little the margin that remained was capableany longer of stretching, of absorbing, as in the youthful years, thecolours, salts, tones of existence, so that she filled the room she entered,and felt often as she stood hesitating one moment on the threshold of herdrawing-room, an exquisite suspense, such as might stay a diver beforeplunging while the sea darkens and brightens beneath him, and thewaves which threaten to break, but only gently split their surface, rolland conceal and encrust as they just turn over the weeds with pearl”Slicing – totally cut of, irriversable, every moment passing slicing that part. Consious of time getting sliced away, can’t go back and change decisions. Showed how she was slowly losing the life.Drainging away – through structure of the sentence, so logn and accumulation dissipearing, losing the essence and liveliness that we know she really values in LondonIt darkens, brightens – emphasises uncertainty. On the threshold – not quite sure what it holds, could be something incredible – might be able to find what she is searching for, essence, meaning. But at the same time she might not, or too fearful. Never launched herself into life like she wanted.

Relates to 144 –
She was about to split asunder, she felt. The agony was so terrific. If
she could grasp her, if she could clasp her, if she could make her hers absolutely
that was all she wanted. But to sit
here, unable to thin to see Elizabeth turning against
to be felt repulsive even by her—
* Wishes she had courage to change what she sees. Passive. Unable to think of anything – on poralisis. Not certain if she has the courage to move forward or not. At the end of the novel
204 – keeps talking about clocks, metaphor of time passing, ‘clock was striking’ – repeats when Big Ben is striking. Very pessimistic when reflects how she likes the boy who had commited suicide. Doesn’t pity him, and feels like she is much like him. Doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to die – she sees some struggle that echoes her own. Understanding for the situation he has found himself in, grieves for him and that choice. At the same choice she knows she chooses differently, chooses lfe and to continue. Clearer sense of who she is. Acceptance of what she is about to do.
Septimus’s death promps her consoius of her own mortality (he was so young). Also makes her appreiciate her life she has now. He helps to clarify her thinking .Also the old lady too – recognises this other lady whose life is closer to its end – stimulates her reflections and makes her conscious of her time remaining, had deciocions between life or death. Just because shes made bad deciouns in the past doesn’t mean she doesn’t have decisions left.
Sally / Peter remind her of her past and of the time that has passed. She hasn’t seen any of them for a long time (Peta in india, sally lived own life) their return is a prompt for her consuosness of the time when they all met – as young people. IN their return she is questioning in that time' Have I become who I wanted to be. They also remind her of how she used to be. Remind her of that side of herself – she and sally had a connection, particular understanding with Peter, this side of her hasn’t been acknowledged of Richard, fragmented nature of her identity. In her marriage she is a different woman, it has missed out elements of her – who wants to plunge into things etcetc.
Her role of mrs Dalloway represses her.
Moves between
Tension – images, changing calling herself Clarissa and Mrs Dalloway, movig between present and past. Movig between personality. Better understanding of her whole self.
Sally has also retreated into conventionality – hasn’t continued or maintained her old personality. Sally is consumed by role of wife and mother. No spontinaity. Peter didn’t go to india.

What is Virginia Woolf saying about these issues
“Come along,' she said. 'They're waiting.'
He had never felt so happy in the whole of his life! Without a word they made it up. They walked down to the lake. He had twenty minutes of perfect happiness. Her voice, her laugh, her dress (something floating, white, crimson), her spirit, she made them all disembark an she sang. And all the time, he knew perfectly well, Dalloway was fall she was falling in love with D but it didn't seem to matter. Nothing mattered. They sat on the ground and talked-he and Clarissa. They went in and out of each other's minds without any effort. And then in a second it was over. He said to himself as they were getting into the boat, 'She will marry that man,' dully, wi but it was an obvious thing. Dalloway would marry Clarissa.”
