AGARTALA, Tripura: Deputy Chief Minister of Tripura Jishnu Debbarma, on June 3, announced that the Tripura Renewable Energy Development Agency (TREDA) will be installing 15,000 solar lights in distant villages and other educational institutions in the state.
The Government of Tripura is aiming to empower the economically challenged population of the state with an environmentally viable and sustainable solution for the needs of people, who still does not have an active power connection in their village and the educational institutions.
TREDA will be the nodal agency for the installation of 15,000 solar street lights that will cover 1291 rural villages across 12 aspirational blocks in the state.
The move is in line with the Renewable Energy Mission, under which nearly 3 lakhs of study lamps have been distributed among the underprivileged children. Additionally, 700 cultivators have also been given solar pumps under the mission.
According to Debbarma, a single unit of solar pump costs Rs 2.5 lakhs to the government, while the government provides these pumps to the farmers for Rs 2500.
