Palli village in Jammu’s Samba district has become the country’s first panchayat to become carbon neutral, fully powered by solar energy and with all its records digitised and saturation of benefits of all the Central schemes.
Inaugurating the 500 KW solar plant at the country’s first carbon-neutral panchayat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said it would take three weeks to move a ‘sarkari’ file from Delhi to Jammu and Kashmir but this project with the help of villagers was completed in a record time of three weeks.
Referring to the Glasgow Climate Change Conference attended by him last year, Mr. Modi said he was witness to speeches and statements being made during the conference on reducing carbon generation.
