The PM emphasised the importance of grassroots engagement in promoting renewable energy adoption. To this end, Urban Local Bodies and Panchayats will be incentivised to facilitate the installation of rooftop solar systems within their jurisdictions. This localised approach not only fosters community involvement but also contributes to economic empowerment by reducing power bills and generating employment opportunities.

Furthermore, the PM highlighted the role of youth in driving the success of the Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. Encouraging residential consumers, especially youngsters, to embrace solar power, he urged active participation in the scheme through the dedicated online portal.
