Maharashtra has finally got its first-ever solar village, with the inauguration of the complete solarisation of the village Manyachiwadi in Satara district by chief minister Eknath Shinde. During the inauguration, Shinde said that zero electricity bills for households in the village, which will now reap the benefits of rooftop solar, are due to the PM Suryaghar Muft Bijali Yojana. This scheme, established by the Central Govt, aims to provide 300 units of free power to one crore households across the country.
