An interesting organization, and a useful one too. So thought I’d provide details about it.

Implementation of Solar powered lights in Cooperative Societies in Pune.
This was a mandate to have solar powered lights in the premises and for water heaters. But it wasn’t followed. Pune has a base of many Upcoming townships which have huge premises. PMC should come up with such a directive to make it absolutely compulsory for upcoming societies to have arrangements for water and Solar powered equipments. Please provide your thoughts on this.
Thanks

Pune as a smart city must focus on this aspect.
Have a target of implementing slolar energy in new coming projects.
