Abstract

India in its economy is growing at a tremendous rate and nuclear energy plays a vital role in its success. It has been estimated that the primary energy consumption of India has doubled between 1990 and 2011 to nearly 25, 000 petajoule (PJ). India's dependence on imported energy resources and the inconsistent reform of the energy sector are major challenges to satisfy the rising demand of current scenario. India has a vision of becoming a world leader in nuclear technology due to its expertise in fast reactors and thorium fuel cycle. Nuclear power for civil use is well established in India. As a result, India's nuclear power program has proceeded largely without fuel or technological assistance from other countries. The revolutionary campaign started in 25 sept. 2014 by our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi “Make in India” has encouraged the nuclear deal and other relations with the outside world that results in growth and development of India in almost all fields including intrinsic nuclear field. In this paper, we have highlighted the importance of Make in India Campaign in the economic development via developing the nuclear field. It also analyses the expertise of different policies and programs launched by the Government of India supported by “Make in India” project.
