PM Modi Apprises Students about Electricity Generation & Curbing of Pollution


Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his birth anniversary at the Central Hall of Samvidhan Sadan in New Delhi on Thursday. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, and other leaders also paid their respects. While interacting with school students present there, the Prime Minister asked the students what is the goal of the nation by 2047, to which a student with utmost confidence answered to make India a Developed Nation (Viksit Bharat).

Mr Modi also emphasized that over 1,200 electric buses provided by the Union government were operating in Delhi and more would be introduced. He explained to the students about the PM Suryagarh Yojana as a tool to tackle climate change. He said that as part of the scheme, solar panels were installed on the rooftop of the house, which would produce electricity through solar energy, thereby eliminating the need to pay electricity bills.

He further added that the electricity generated could be used to charge e-vehicles, thereby eliminating the spending on fossil fuels and curbing pollution. Mr Modi further informed the students that any surplus electricity generated at home, after personal use, can be sold to the government and get monetary compensation. He added that the students could generate electricity at home and sell it for profit.
