Schools to harness solar power to meet electricity demand
1 2 Prayagraj: All govt, aided and unaided schools of Prayagraj will soon have solar rooftop plants installed under PM Surya Ghar Yojana to meet the electricity demand. This initiative aims not only to reduce electricity bills but also to teach students about the importance of renewable energy sources. Sources said principals of all secondary schools in the district have been asked to begin preparations for this transformation. The initiative falls under the PM Surya Ghar Free Electricity Scheme and is supported by the office of the chief development officer (CDO). The goal is to ensure that schools can meet a substantial portion of their electricity needs through self-generated solar energy. Schools have been advised to register on the official portal ( Following registration, vendors for solar panel installation must be selected from the empanelled list available on the UPNEDA solar rooftop portal. For any queries or support, schools may contact the project officer, UPNEDA. This step is expected to have a multifaceted impact. Financially, it will ease the electricity burden, with potential savings of up to 70% on power bills. These savings can in turn be redirected to improve infrastructure and other developmental areas in schools. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Environmentally, it aligns with India's broader renewable energy goals.

Only registered vendors will be permitted to carry out installations, and schools are also eligible for subsidies under the scheme. The authorities have emphasised that all related work must be completed within the current academic session, ensuring that benefits start reaching institutions as early as possible.
