Solar panels to be set up in all high schools in Odisha’s Ganjam district

All government-run high schools in Odisha’s Ganjam district will soon be equipped with solar panels. The district administration has taken up the initiative to make the schools energy-independent, Ganjam Collector Vijay Kulange said.

“Our aim is to make the high schools energy independent through sustainable solar energy. This initiative will also help us to promote awareness among students about renewable and alternative energy resources,” Kulange said.

Of 535 government high schools in the district, infrastructure facilities have already been developed in 366 under the state’s 5T (Technology, Teamwork, Time, Transparency leading to Transformation) initiative and the ‘Mo School’ (My School) Abhiyaan.
