In an effort to promote sustainable energy and reduce dependence on conventional power sources, rural areas of Uttarakhand have begun installing solar-powered street lights. The project aims to provide reliable lighting in remote locations while minimizing environmental impact.
Local officials said that the new lights will enhance night-time visibility, reduce electricity bills, and support renewable energy adoption. Residents have welcomed the initiative, noting improved safety on village roads.
This move aligns with the state’s long-term goal of promoting clean energy technologies and smart village infrastructure.
