The Prime Minister’s Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is being implemented effectively and consistently across Rajnandgaon district, providing significant relief to consumers while promoting clean, green and renewable energy. Under the scheme, beneficiaries are experiencing reduced electricity expenses along with long-term economic and environmental benefits.
Senior Agriculture Extension Officer J.P. Sahare, posted in Chhuriya block, has installed a 3-kilowatt solar rooftop power plant at his private residence in Dongargaon. After the installation of the solar system under the scheme, his electricity bill has dropped to zero, resulting in regular monthly savings.
