The central government will convert 10,000 villages which do not have electricity into solar-powered settlements 2012, Union minister Farooq Abdullah has said recently. This is in line with what the Indian government has been doing past few years, when over 6000 villages have benefitted from a similar activity.
The minister also said that the govt has plans to convert a couple of pilgrim centres like Shirdi, Vaishno Devi, Tirupati into solar power so that we can reduce dependence on power grid.
