PM Narendra Modi chairs a meeting to launch “Pradhanmantri Suryodaya Yojana” with the target of installing rooftop solar on 1 crore houses

New Delhi: Immediately after his visit to Ayodhya on the auspicious occasion of consecration of Suryawanshi Bhagwan Shri Ram, Prime Minister chaired a meeting to launch “Pradhanmantri Suryodaya Yojana” with the target of installing rooftop solar on 1 crore houses at his residence at Lok Kalyan Marg.

During the meeting, Prime Minister said that the power of the sun can be harnessed by every household with a roof to reduce their electricity bills and to make them truly aatmanirbhar for their electricity needs.

Pradhanmantri Suryodaya Yojana aims to provide electricity to low and middle-income individuals through solar rooftop installations, along with offering additional income for surplus electricity generation.

The Prime Minister also directed that a massive national campaign should be started to mobilize residential segment consumers to adopt rooftop solar in large numbers.

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has announced ‘Pradhan Mantri Suryodaya Yojana’ under which 1 crore households will get rooftop solar.

PM Modi said “today, on the auspicious occasion of the consecration of life in Ayodhya, my resolve has been further strengthened that the people of India should have their own solar roof top system on the roof of their houses.

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.

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

The Prime Minister posted on X :

“सूर्यवंशी भगवान श्री राम के आलोक से विश्व के सभी भक्तगण सदैव ऊर्जा प्राप्त करते हैं।

आज अयोध्या में प्राण-प्रतिष्ठा के शुभ अवसर पर मेरा ये संकल्प और प्रशस्त हुआ कि भारतवासियों के घर की छत पर उनका अपना सोलर रूफ टॉप सिस्टम हो।

अयोध्या से लौटने के बाद मैंने पहला निर्णय लिया है कि हमारी सरकार 1 करोड़ घरों पर रूफटॉप सोलर लगाने के लक्ष्य के साथ “प्रधानमंत्री सूर्योदय योजना” प्रारंभ करेगी।

इससे गरीब और मध्यम वर्ग का बिजली बिल तो कम होगा ही, साथ ही भारत ऊर्जा के क्षेत्र में आत्मनिर्भर भी बनेगा।”
