Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared ‘Modhera village’ in poll-bound Gujarat as the country's first 24x7 solar-powered village.
The Modhera village is located 25 km from the Mehsana district of Gurajat, and about 100 km from the state capital of Gandhinagar.
The village has a ground-mounted solar power plant, and over 1,300 rooftop solar systems with 1kW capacity have been installed on houses to generate electricity.
PM Modi also added that Modhera will now be known as Suryagram.
The Gujarat government had allotted 12 hectares of land for the development of this project.
