With the increasing reach of solar energy in the state, approximately 50,000 youth have gained direct employment as technicians, installers, and service staff. Employment opportunities have reached villages and towns, which has positively impacted migration and strengthened the local economy. Additionally, load shedding is being reduced in rural and semi-urban areas. Previously, power outages impacted small businesses such as mills, welding, and processing units, but now their incomes have improved by 10 to 15 percent. Solar energy is becoming a key driver of rural progress.
Uttar Pradesh is now moving towards energy 'self-sufficiency'. Efforts are underway to further strengthen the role of solar energy in this area. As solar energy coverage expands, dependence on conventional power supply will decrease, benefiting industries and small businesses. The Yogi Adityanath government is confident that solar energy will prove to be the economic backbone of the state in the coming years and make Uttar Pradesh a leader in the field of clean energy.
This solar-based transformation is no longer a fantasy, but a visible reality on the ground. The Yogi Adityanath government has aligned energy policy with public welfare and economic progress.
