Seminar on solar power scheme marks Day 2 of ‘Ins-Out’ expo

An awareness seminar on the RAMP (Raising and Accelerating MSME Performance) Scheme under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana and Lean Manufacturing was organised on the second day of Ins-Out, the 11th edition of an exhibition being organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Speaking at the event today, Arun Verma, Director, Chandigarh Power Distribution Limited (CPDL), said Chandigarh, globally renowned for its architecture, faced a pressing need to promote solar energy. The city could witness a solar revolution through initiatives like the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, which aimed at providing solar-powered electricity to 30,000 households in Chandigarh within the next year. He highlighted that CPDL’s Solar Mitras had been conducting door-to-door awareness campaigns and registering residents under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana.

Suvrat Khanna, co-chair of Chandigarh Chapter of PHDCCI, welcomed participants and noted that the event’s primary objective was to inform industrialists and residents about the various schemes of the UT Industries Department.
