    It is a marvellous achievement. India is blessed with superabundant human brilliance which would translate long term dreams into reality. It is seen in newsapers/websites that many inventions are taking place in nook and corner of the world quite frequently. But, unfortunately things remain in paper only. Government of respective countries across the world should identify the best invention/discovery, intensify R&D effort and make things available to the masses. I suggest the electric car if fitted with solar panels would be able to generate more power and enahance the average mileage of an electric car. In India, we are blessed with solar energy and I am sure we will come out successfully in our effort to bring solar powered automobles. S Venkatarasman
