Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has inaugurated the country’s first solar city Sanchi.
Roof-top solar panels have been installed in all institutions like railway stations, schools, government offices, street lights, and post offices in Sanchi. Solar study lamps are also being used in homes in the city.
Annually about 13 thousand 747 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced in Sanchi Solar City, which is equivalent to more than two lakh adult trees.
Along with this, there will be a saving of more than seven crore rupees annually in the energy-related expenditure of the government and the citizens.
