Ramkant Sinha, a common man burdened by electricity bills, is heartily thanking Prime Minister Modi today. Ramkant Sinha, a resident of Gariaband district, has seen an unprecedented transformation in his life. The reason for this transformation is the “PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.” Ramkant Sinha says, “Under this scheme, I installed solar panels on the roof of my house.
This has provided me with tremendous relief on my electricity bills. Previously, I had to pay ₹2,000 to ₹3,000 per month, but now my bill is zero! And I can use these savings for my other important needs. I express my heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for launching this wonderful scheme.”
What is the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana?
The primary objective of this ambitious scheme is to provide free electricity to households by installing rooftop solar systems and empowering them to generate their own electricity. This isn’t just a power-saving scheme, but a revolutionary step towards clean energy.
Free electricity for millions of homes
This scheme is making solar energy accessible, affordable, and effective for millions of homes. The scheme has set a significant goal of solar-powered 10 million homes, of which over 1 million installations have already been completed. Here are the key points about this scheme:
Subsidy: This scheme provides up to 60% subsidy on solar power systems up to 3 kilowatts.
Free electricity: Installing a 3-kilowatt system can provide up to 300 units of free electricity per month.
Beneficiaries are using their savings for other purposes and are also getting relief from power cuts.
The Powerful Synergy of Clean Energy and Zero Bills
By providing subsidies and an organized digital application process, the government is ensuring that all households in cities and villages can adopt clean energy with lower bills.
This scheme is a life-changing opportunity for the economically weaker sections. Many people like Ramkant Sinha, who previously paid electricity bills of ₹2,000-₹3,000 per month, are now benefiting from the unprecedented convenience of zero bills. This is a powerful example of empowerment, where citizens are no longer consumers of electricity, but producers.
