Extract:
The Government of India is set to
introduce a competitive challenge called PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana to
designate model villages powered by solar energy.
As part of
this initiative, a financial assistance grant of Rs one crore will be awarded
to the winning hamlet in each district. This move towards promoting solar power
in villages aims to create sustainable energy solutions and drive the adoption
of renewable energy sources at the grassroots level.

My Take:
Surya
Ghar: Missing the Wood for the Trees?...15/02/2024
In my previous
blog post, I delved into the concept of PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana and
highlighted the importance of incentivizing solar power adoption at the
household level.
The current
development of launching a contest to designate model solar villages resonates
well with the idea of scaling up solar energy initiatives beyond individual
homes to entire villages.
By focusing on
creating model villages powered by solar energy, the government is taking a
step towards showcasing the collective impact of renewable energy adoption.

From
Trailer to Movie for Solar Power…..02/04/2014
Transitioning
from individual rooftop solar installations to entire villages being designated
as model solar villages signifies a significant leap in the solar power
narrative.
The move
towards promoting cooperation and community-level solar power generation, as
discussed in my earlier blog, aligns with the current strategy of incentivizing
and recognizing entire villages for embracing solar energy.
It's
encouraging to witness the evolution of solar power initiatives from pilot
projects to widespread adoption, paving the way for a sustainable energy
future.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call to Action:
To the Ministry of New and
Renewable Energy and local governing bodies, I urge for a seamless
implementation of the contest to designate model solar villages.
Engage with
communities, provide necessary support, and ensure transparency in the
selection process to drive maximum participation and impact.
Let's work
together towards building a network of sustainable and energy-efficient
villages across the nation.
