The Sun has been worshipped as a life-giver to our planet since ancient times. India has a vast solar energy potential. The PM Suryaghar: Muft Bijli Yojana aims to integrate the use of solar energy in our everyday lives through the recently launched Rooftop Solar (RTS) Programme. With an initial target of covering one crore households, the scheme will enable beneficiaries to generate up to 300 units of electricity per month through solar panels. The beneficiaries can also avail subsidy up to ₹78000.

To raise awareness of the scheme, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy in collaboration with MyGov is organizing “PM SURYA GHAR MUFT BIJLI YOJANA Selfie Contest”.
