This is an excerption of the text of President A P J Abdul Kalam's address to the nation on the eve of the country's 56th Republic Day:
As you are aware, the use of coal for power generation results in an increased quantum of fly ash production, which has reached about 100 million tonnes per year. All out efforts are needed to utilise this fly ash not only from environmental considerations, but also to avoid land usage for fly ash dumping. Though there has been a steady progress in fly ash utilisation from 1990, we have a long way to go to reach the target of 100 percent fly ash utilisation.”
