Khaira in Chhattisgarh has been designated as the first village in India to achieve 100% solar energy coverage under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana.
Khaira, a village in Chhattisgarh, has made history by becoming the first settlement in India to achieve complete solar energy integration. This milestone is a direct outcome of the Prime Minister's Surya Ghar Yojana, a national initiative aimed at promoting rooftop solar installations across the country.
The achievement marks a significant step in India's transition towards renewable energy sources at the grassroots level. By converting the entire village to solar power, Khaira serves as a model for sustainable living and energy independence in rural India.
The PM Surya Ghar Yojana seeks to empower households with clean energy, reducing electricity bills and carbon footprints. Khaira's success demonstrates the feasibility of scaling such initiatives in rural communities, setting a benchmark for other villages across the nation to follow.
