Measures adopted to illuminate villages
From a Correspondent JORHAT, Jan 19: A non-conventional power revolution is going on in the far-flung areas of the State. Undertaken by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) to bring light to the lives of those far removed from the ambit of conventional sources of electricity, it is being implemented by various agencies including the Forest Department.
Jorhat MP BK Handique will inaugurate the project tomorrow undertaken by the Forest Department here at Hatisal village in the district.
"The Forest Department has taken up a total of 54 villages including six in Jorhat district for solar-powered and biogas-driven lights," Assistant Conservator of Forests, Gunin Saikia informed.
"In the first phase, 666 below the poverty line households in the six villages of Hatisal, Sumonigaon, Eri Sapori, Auniati Sapori, Sayang Mising Sapori and Tekeli Sapori will be given solar photo voltaic lights as well as 200 gobar gas units," Saikia further said.
"The cost of lighting up one or two rooms in the huts will be about Rs 14,000 and includes CFL bulbs, photo voltaic cells, gobar gas units and other paraphernalia," Saikia stated.
"In the second phase, many more houses will be provided with these facilities until the entire State is covered," he added. source: sentinel assam
