The new path of energy self -sufficiency in the country is open with the Prime Minister Suryaghar Free Power Scheme. Thousands of families in Korba of Chhattisgarh are benefiting from solar energy, with savings in electricity bills and also contributing to environmental protection.
Raipur, 19 September 2025. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has launched the Prime Minister Suryaghar Free Power Scheme with the aim of making the country energy self -sufficient and providing cheap, clean and constant electricity to every house. This ambitious scheme is making people self -sufficient along with providing relief from electricity bills and is also making a big contribution in environmental protection.
The implementation of this scheme in Chhattisgarh is taking place fast under the guidance of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai. Under his leadership, the pace of adopting solar energy in the state has increased even more.
Korba District: Solar Revolution in Energy Capital
The impact of this scheme is the most special in the country’s Korba district called “Power Capital”. Thousands of families are saving every month by taking advantage of this scheme and getting rid of electricity bills. Among these families, the example of Ranjit Kumar, resident of Naktikhar, Korba, is the most inspiring.
Ranjit Kumar’s experience: Get rid of electricity bill
Ranjit Kumar is a dumper operator at SECL, Kusmunda. Despite being a toiling mass, his family’s budget was often spoiled due to electricity bills, everyday needs and children’s education expenses. When he came to know about the Pradhan Mantri Suryaghar Yojana, he immediately applied and decided to install solar panels on the roof of the house.
Easy solution from investment and government subsidy
About two months ago, he installed a solar power system at his home. Its total cost came around 2 lakh 10 thousand rupees.
- He had already received a subsidy of Rs 78 thousand from the central government.
- He completed the remaining amount with loan and some cash payments at an easy rate.
Within just a few weeks, this investment proved to be a boon for him. Earlier, where his electricity bill used to go to thousands of rupees every month, now it comes only 130 rupees.
Big contribution to environmental protection
The Pradhan Mantri Suryaghar Yojana not only lightens the pockets of the families, but is also a big friend of nature.
- Solar energy reduces dependence on fuels such as coal and diesel.
- Air pollution decreases and the environment remains safe.
- In an industrial district like Korba, where coal -based power generation is largely, the scheme is bringing historical changes.
Energy self -sufficiency and family happiness
Ranjit Kumar and his family expressed happiness and said-
Now we are not worried about electricity bill. Children’s education continues and all the equipment of the household go on without hindrance. The solar panel has made our life easier. “
Today, his house is not only illuminated but has also become an ideal example of energy savings and environmental protection.
Revolutionary change in common people’s life
Thousands of families are becoming self -sufficient due to the strong implementation of the Prime Minister Suryaghar Free Power Scheme. This scheme is showing them the way of economic strength, relief from electricity bills and clean energy. This plan is an inspiration for families who were still looking for a permanent electricity system.
