Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Model Solar villages

 

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.
