CM Yadav emphasised that the government aims to turn the state’s Aannadatas (farmers) into Urjadatas (energy providers). Under this vision, 10 lakh solar-powered pumps will be provided within a year as part of a statewide campaign. Farmers will be able to install solar pumps ranging from 1 to 10 horsepower by making a deposit and will receive timely connections. Farmers in the state will generate their own electricity. The Chief Minister has directed to give priority to tribal communities residing in remote hamlets (Mazras and Tolas) in this initiative.
The Additional Chief Secretary for New and Renewable Energy, Manu Srivastava, informed that nearly 17,000 applications have been received for solar pump installation in just the past three days. (ANI)
