Shimla, December 24

The SJVN Limited has inked a memorandum of understanding with Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) for harnessing potential solar energy of about 2,000-MW available under the DVC Command Area. SJVN and DVC will jointly identify suitable water bodies and available land under the SJVN and the DVC command area for setting up renewable power projects.

The MoU was signed by Akhileshwar Singh, Director (Finance), SJVN, and M Raghuram, Member (Technical) Damodar Valley Corporation. Recently, at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 26), Prime Minister Narendra Modi had spoken about India’s intent of generating 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
