Union Minister of Culture and Tourism Gajendra Singh Shekhawat today said that India’s solar capacity has grown from 2.8 gigawatt to 155 gigawatt in the last twelve years. In a social media post, Mr Shekhawat said that over 4 million homes are illuminated by solar energy, and the doubling of solar capacity in the agricultural sector is proof of progress alongside environmental conservation. The Minister added that the country’s farmers are no longer just providers of food but also generators of energy. He emphasized that with the resolve to make every roof solar-powered, every home an energy hub, and every field a center of energy, India is rapidly moving towards the goal of 500 gigawatt renewable energy capacity.
