Conrad K Sangma, Chief Minister, Meghalaya, announced the initiation of the CM’s Solar Mission, a project worth Rs 5 billion, with the aim of tackling the power shortage in the state. It was stated that the government would allocate the funds over the next 5 years.
Sangma expressed that the people-oriented CM Solar Mission was designed to be a prominent endeavor in the sphere of Renewable Energy, with the intention of promoting the adoption of eco-friendly and clean energy practices throughout the state.
