Back From Ayodhya, PM Modi Plans Scheme For Solar Panels At 1 Crore Houses

PM Narendra Modi said the scheme -- "Pradhanmantri Suryodaya Yojana" -- will "not only reduce the electricity bill of the poor and middle class, but also make India self-reliant in the field of energy"

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after returning from Ayodhya today, said he has decided to begin a new scheme to help people set up solar panels at their homes. The decision, he indicated, was inspired by the realisation that "all devotees of the world get energy from the light of Suryavanshi Lord Shri Ram".

"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,' PM Modi said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

"This will not only reduce the electricity bill of the poor and middle class, but also make India self-reliant in the field of energy," he added.
