This project is being constructed by the Power Grid Corporation, a government undertaking, and is championed by Arjun Ram Meghwal. The aim is to develop the Bikaner division as a solar hub.

Sources reveal that people from the five districts benefiting from the GEH project will be invited to attend the public meeting. "The BJP intends to leverage PM Modi's visit to these districts.
