During the meeting, the chief minister instructed the officials to focus more in 85 tribal-dominated development blocks for the distribution of the solar energy-based irrigation pumps, the official said

"About 12,161 solar powered pumps had been provided to the farmers till now against the target of 11,300 under 'Saur Sujala Yojna' since the inception of the scheme in November last year," an energy department official said here today.

Chief Minister Raman Singh was informed about the development under the scheme while he was chairing a review meeting of the energy department at his official residence today, he said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had launched the 'Saur Sujala' scheme on state’s foundation day on November 1, 2016 in Raipur.

It's aim was to strengthen agriculture by providing irrigation facilities, particularly where there is no power supply, and development of farmers in the state, he said.

During the meeting, the chief minister instructed the officials to focus more in 85 tribal-dominated development blocks for the distribution of the solar energy-based irrigation pumps, the official said.

Singh expressed satisfaction that the department had distributed more solar pumps than the set target and congratulated the officials, he said.

The CM further stressed on the need to cover 20,000 farmers under this scheme by the end of this year pointing that farmers belonging to remote areas and inaccessible regions, should be given priority while distribution.

Notably, farmers are being provided solar-irrigation pumps of 5-horsepower and 3-horsepower at heavily subsidized rates in the state.

Solar irrigation pump worth Rs 3.5 lakh (3hp) is being given to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe classes at the cost of Rs 7,000, to Other Backward Class (OBC) at Rs 12,000 and general category farmers at Rs 18,000.
The remaining amount is borne by the state government, he said.

Besides, the chief minister also directed the officials to complete electrification of all villages and hamlets by March next year.

Similarly, he also asked to complete the installation of 32 power substations being established in different parts of the state, by March next year.

These power substations will facilitate quality electricity supply in nearly 95 per cent areas of the state, the official said.
Meanwhile, the officials informed in the meeting that 4,105 solar pumps had been installed for providing drinking water purposes in the state and there is a proposal to install 1,886 more such pumps in near future.
Chairman of Chhattisgarh Power Holding Company Shivraj Singh and other officials were present on the occasion.

Uganda Starts Up First Solar Power Plant in Bid to Tap Renewables

Uganda Starts Up First Solar Power Plant in Bid to Tap Renewables
In this photo taken June 30, 2016, a Ugandan worker levels the ground at a solar plant in Soroti about 300 kilometers east of Uganda capital Kampala.


Uganda on Monday started up its first grid-connected, 10 megawatt solar power plant as the east African country moves to tap its renewable energy resources and expand its electricity generation capacity.

Funded by Norway, Germany, UK and the European Union, the $19 million plant was developed by Access Power and Eren Re, two energy sector investors based in Dubai and France respectively.

Uganda, a prospective crude oil producer of some 34 million people, generates about 850 megawatts of electricity, mostly from hydro power dams.

Officials have said they want to increase that capacity to 1,500 megawatts by 2018 and are seeking foreign investors to develop the country's non-traditional energy sources such as solar and geothermal.

The plant, a vast field of some 32,600 photovoltaic panels, is located in Soroti in northeastern Uganda and the electricity generated will help power at least 40,000 homes.

Last week Uganda signed a 90 million-euro ($95.55 million) loan deal with German development bank KfW and French government finance agency AFD to build a 45 megawatt (MW) power plant in the country's west.

Solar water pumps provide water in power-hit areas

Solar water pumps provide water in power-hit areas


As many parts of Odisha are experiencing acute scarcity of drinking water and over 500 piped water supply projects lying defunct, the State Government on Saturday directed the collectors to install solar pump sets in areas where power supply is erratic.

Low voltage and frequent disruption of power being a common feature during summer months across the State, non-availability of power makes it difficult to supply piped water to households.
The collectors have been advised to identify water scarcity areas where drinking water supply could be possible through solar water pumping system.

Chief Secretary AP Padhi gave this direction while reviewing the availability of drinking water and measures taken to meet the water need of people in water scarcity areas through video conference with the collectors.

Padhi asked the collectors to develop at least 10 solar water pumping systems in their districts without delay.According to Panchayati Raj department, piped water supply is provided to 38,445 out of 1.56 lakh habitations in the State. While the number of defunct piped water projects was 942 in April, the department claimed 432 have been repaired and water supply restored.
The majority of habitations of the State meet their drinking water need from 4,15,558 tubewells and sanitary wells.

Pending power bills are the other major reason behind these projects being non-operational. Though the State Government had directed power distribution companies not to discontinue power supply to water projects in case of unpaid dues, the order is not followed in most places, official sources said.

In the April review meeting of the Chief Minister, it was decided to expedite the process of installation of solar energy-based drinking water projects in the Integrated Action Plan (IAP) districts like Koraput and Malkangiri. However, the achievement in this front is very negligible.

In its three-year achievements report, the State Government said over 1.30 lakh habitations are fully covered and 25,946 villages are partially covered under drinking water supply schemes. All the partially covered villages will get piped water supply by 2018-19, the report added.

Ujjain: Govt offers 90% subsidy on solar water pumps to farmers

 Ujjain: Govt offers 90% subsidy on solar water pumps to farmers

Ujjain: Government of Madhya Pradesh and new and renewable energy department has launched a solar pump programme to solve power crisis in agriculture sector. The purpose of this programme is to enable round the clock power supply to farmers for irrigation purposes. Under the programme, farmers can get solar-powered pumps at subsidised rate and will have to bear only 10 per cent cost of the pumps while 90 per cent will be borne by the government.


Divisional commissioner MB Ojha instructed officials of Energy Development Corporation and agriculture department to endorse the programme vigorously and reach out to farmers and motivate them for installing pump as Ujjain division has received a target. The pumps will be available in one horse power to 10 horse power. As per the scheme, if a farmer goes for one HP pump of Rs 1.75 lakh then that farmer has to bear only Rs 17,500 while the government will pay the remaining amount. Till now, a total of 16 solar-powered pumps have been installed in the district covering villages Narvar, Bisakhedi, Malikhedi, Runija, Ghattiya, Taran, Mahidpur and at the office of council of agriculture research.
