Koraput: TP Southern Odisha Distribution Limited (TPSODL) flagged off its Solar Rath from Koraput Collectorate to promote rooftop solar adoption across the district.
Koraput Collector and District Magistrate Manoj Satyawan Mahajan flagged off the Solar Rath on Friday in the presence of TPSODL officials.
The Solar Rath will cover all 14 blocks of Koraput district to spread awareness about benefits of the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana and Utility-Led Aggregation (ULA) Model.
The initiative, part of the month-long Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, is expected to encourage more and more households to adopt clean and affordable power solutions.
Radio jingles will be used to convey Information, and Education and Communication (IEC) leaflets to reach people across the district. Solar Sanga members accompanying the Rath will interact directly with consumers, explaining the scheme’s benefits and guiding them through the application process. They will also address consumer queries and provide information about available subsidies and ULA Model.
“The Solar Rath is an important initiative to take awareness about rooftop solar energy directly to communities across Koraput district. Through the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana and our ULA Model, we aim to make solar energy more accessible and affordable for households. By engaging directly with consumers, we hope to address their queries, simplify the application process and encourage more families to embrace clean energy. We remain committed to supporting the adoption of rooftop solar across Southern Odisha,” TPSODL CEO Amit Garg said.
Er. Manmatha Nath Mishra, Additional Chief Engineer and Zonal Head, Jeypore; T Tapanrasmi Subudhi, Superintending Engineer, Jeypore Circle; Rashmi Ranjan Mohapatra, Executive Engineer, Koraput Division and other officials of the district administration and TPSODL were present at the flag-off ceremony.
