Electricity is generated artificially from waterfalls. Scientists protect artificial waterfalls in rivers where there is no waterfall. Electricity is also collected from coal by setting up thermal stations near coal mines. The heat below the earth and the heat of the sun can be converted into electrical power.
The use of electricity
The present age is the age of electricity. Hence, we find various uses of electric power. Huge factories of heavy industries are easily run by electric current. Small scale industries come under the guild system and take the help of electricity.
Many trains, trams, buses, and slips run on electricity. X-ray pictures are also taken with the help of this power. It is with the help of this powerful electric light that great surgical treatments are performed on dark nights.

Conclusion
In India, we need more electricity to fulfill our ambition projects. There is ample scope for setting up a large number of power plants in our country. Let us look forward to the day when Indian agriculture will be mechanized with the help of electricity.
