Rajasthan govt leases barren land to power solar energy plants
The Rajasthan government has launched a scheme to help farmers to set up solar energy plants on their unusable or barren land.
Under the scheme, called the Saur Krishi Aajeevika Yojana (SKAY), farmers can give their barren land on lease to set up solar-energy plants, which would help them elevate their living standards, a senior state government official told Business Standard.
An online portal has been set up and on it farmers/landowners can register their land to give on lease.
“The land developer can see the land details put on the portal by farmers and can set up a solar energy plant in accordance with the rules.
