In a significant move, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, upon his return from Ayodhya, announced the initiation of the “Pradhanmantri Suryodaya Yojana” on Monday. The ambitious scheme aims to facilitate the installation of rooftop solar panels on one crore houses.
Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister participated in the “Pran Pratishtha” rituals of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya. During the announcement, he emphasised that this decision not only seeks to alleviate the electricity burden on the poor and middle class but also endeavours to propel India towards self-reliance in the energy sector.
In a tweet, Prime Minister Modi expressed, “All the devotees of the world always get energy from the light of Suryavanshi Lord Shri Ram. Today, on the auspicious occasion of consecration in Ayodhya, my resolution got further strengthened that the people of India should have their own solar rooftop system on the roof of their houses.”
He continued, “The first decision I have taken after returning from Ayodhya is that our government will launch ‘Pradhanmantri Suryodaya Yojana’ with the target of installing rooftop solar on 1 crore houses. This will not only reduce the electricity bill of the poor and middle class but will also make India self-reliant in the energy sector.”
