“India’s First Solar-Powered Village: Modhera Sets a Green Benchmark for Rural India”
In an inspiring move towards sustainable rural development, Modhera village in Gujarat has become India’s first fully solar-powered village. Solar panels line the rooftops of every household, generating enough electricity to power the entire village. Through this initiative, residents enjoy reduced electricity bills, while surplus energy is sold back to the grid, providing additional income to the community.
With this project, India aims to replicate Modhera’s success nationwide, transforming villages across the country into green, self-sustaining communities. This push aligns with India’s mission to meet 50% of its energy needs from renewable sources by 2030, showing how rural regions can lead the way toward a greener future.
