IAFA switches over to solar energy

Amritsar, March 17

Prominent theatre personality Jatinder Brar inaugurated a solar plant at the Indian Academy of Fine Arts on Sunday.

Honorary general secretary Arvinder Singh Chamak said, “This technology is being adopted by a number of institutions across the country. We have also taken a step with installation of solar plant. A solar plant is the need of the hour. Such endeavours also promote a greener environment and utilization of nature in its best way. It is not only about saving money, but promoting a healthy environment. We are creating, consuming and supplying energy to Punjab State Power Corporation Limited.”

“It is the brainchild of chairman of the gallery, Rajinder Mohan Singh. It is a moment of proud for all of us,” said Shivdev Singh.

Educational institutes, including Khalsa College, DAV College, Guru Nanak Dev University and Punjab Naatshala, have also installed such a plant.
