Addressing a meeting of the ‘PM Surya Home Muft Yojna’ here recently, Deputy Commissioner Amarjit Singh said the model solar village with the most solar setups installed — once declared Solar Village — would be awarded Rs 1 crore.

Six villages — Barsar, Chakmoh, Jahu Khurd, Dhamrol, Darogan and Bela — had been notified under the scheme, he added, noting that over 2,000 persons resided in all selected villages. The DC said villagers in the identified villages would be encouraged to install solar infrastructure, and the village having highest number of solar setups would be declared Solar Village and awarded Rs 1 crore.

Members of Panchayati Raj Institutions, youth clubs and women organisations should be involved to achieve best results, he told officials.

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).
