04 Jan 2024 CW Team

The Chief Minister of Karnataka, in a proactive move, has chaired a meeting to deliberate on the effective implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan - Component C (PM KUSUM-C) scheme. This initiative, aimed at promoting the use of solar energy in the agriculture sector, is a significant step towards sustainable and renewable energy practices.

The meeting, attended by key stakeholders, focused on strategising the seamless execution of the PM KUSUM-C scheme in Karnataka. The scheme, part of the broader KUSUM program, aims to enhance the income of farmers while contributing to the nation's renewable energy goals. Through the installation of solar power projects on barren or cultivable land, farmers can generate additional income by selling surplus energy to the grid.

Karnataka's emphasis on reviewing the scheme's implementation highlights the state's commitment to embracing clean energy solutions and supporting the agricultural community. The Chief Minister's proactive involvement signals a concerted effort to harness the potential of solar energy for sustainable agricultural practices, aligning with national objectives to reduce carbon emissions and promote green energy alternatives. As Karnataka navigates the intricate details of PM KUSUM-C implementation, the state positions itself as a key player in India's renewable energy landscape.
