India Advances Solar Energy with Training Programs and Community Outreach
India is expanding its solar energy sector through initiatives like the Suryamitra Skill Development Programme, which trains youth in solar photovoltaic technology, and the PM Surya Ghar scheme, which has commissioned 18 GW of rooftop solar capacity and trained over 2.5 lakh people. In Uttar Pradesh, the Solar Didi initiative engages women from self-help groups to raise awareness and assist households in adopting rooftop solar systems, supporting the government's goal to install solar panels in one crore homes by 2027.
