To dispel fears of villagers opposed to the nuclear power project in Jaitapur, the Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) will distribute a comic book that will also focus on the benefits they would reap from nuclear energy. The comic, Ek Tha Budhiya: Kahani Ek Khushal Gaon Ki (The Story of a Prosperous Village), narrates the story of Jagdishpur, a village that had been underdeveloped for years owing to ignorance and outdated beliefs, which transforms into an ideal one after a nuclear plant is set up. Written in simple Hindi, it is part of the public awareness activities of NPCIL.
